More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
And maybe now you'll start treating everybody with respect. Not just the people you think are important.
Sophie Kinsella
I had gone to Oxford to read music. I had done music all my life, but when I got to college I didn't want to do it anymore.
Sophie Kinsella
The thing about lying to your parents is, you have to do it to protect them. It’s for their own good.
Sophie Kinsella
To have someone who never makes a mistake, never finds her personal life in disarray, never worries about work-life balance? I think that would be unreal. What Im writing is real.
Sophie Kinsella
If you want something you can't afford, think what else that money could buy: a week's groceries, a month's rent, or a weekend away. That will put things into perspective.
Sophie Kinsella
Me too. I agree fervently. Every film should definitely have a message. Which is true. I mean... take the Lord of the Rings movies- they've got loads of messages. Like Don't lose your ring.

Honestly, shopping beats therapy, anytime. It costs the same and you get a dress out of it.

I've never written a children's book, but when people meet me for the first time and I say I write books, they invariably reply, 'Children's books?' Maybe it's something about my face.
Sophie Kinsella
Visiting any shop for the first time is exciting. There's always that buzz as you push open the door that hope that belief - that this is going to be the shop of all shops, which will bring you everything you ever wanted, at magically low prices.
Sophie Kinsella
I'm an impulse buyer. I don't really go out with a list.
Sophie Kinsella
Shopping with friends is a great way of still enjoying the thrill of the chase without having to make a purchase. It can also be a real bonding opportunity. Helping your friend find something nice is just as rewarding as helping yourself.
Sophie Kinsella
Don’t think about it. Don’t think about what could have been. It’s too unbearable.
Sophie Kinsella
Why can't parents dance? Is it some universal law of physics or something?
Sophie Kinsella
That's the trouble with having the whole world love you. One day, you wake up and it's flirting with your best friend instead. And you don't know what to do. You're thrown.
Sophie Kinsella
I don't think anyone sits down and thinks, 'I know, I'll be a chick-lit writer.' You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, 'Oh, that's chick-lit.' You say, 'Okay.' But it's not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.
Sophie Kinsella
They said I was a valued customer. Now they send me hate mail.
Sophie Kinsella
So I buy it. The most perfect little cardigan in the world. People will call me the Girl in the Gray Cardigan. I’ll be able to live in it. Really, it’s an investment.
Sophie Kinsella
I once tried to give him a friendly little drugs chat. He politely corrected me on every single fact, then said he'd noticed I drank above the recommended guidelines of Red Bull and did I think I might have an addiction? That was the last time I tried to act like the older sister.
Sophie Kinsella
A party like this isn't about the surprise factor. It's about someone going to so much trouble that it just... overwhelms you.
