More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
When I was your age, if a boy behaved badly, one simply scored his name out from one's dance card. (Sadie Lancaster - to Lara Lington)
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.

If I worked at White Globe Consulting, I wouldn't be able to do my job. I would spend all day texting the other people in the office, asking them what was going on today and had they heard anything new and what did they think was going to happen. Hmm. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not in an office job.

I’m blushing at my own stupid, nonsensical, meaningless thought process, which, by the way, nobody knows about except me.
Sophie Kinsella
My life has changed, and I'm changing with it.
Sophie Kinsella
But you can't stay with people because of guilt. Or because they can drive a speedboat.
Sophie Kinsella
You don't always have to know who you are. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what to do next.
Sophie Kinsella
I mean, when I think about it, what's more important? Clothes - or the miracle of new life?
Sophie Kinsella
The great thing about being a novelist is that you organize your own day.
Sophie Kinsella
I love all my characters. I love their weaknesses and flaws. I feel like they're all my best friends and I adore being with them.
Sophie Kinsella
We're all confused, Samantha. We all need more time to think. That's life. Get over it.
Sophie Kinsella
The thing with giving up is you never know. You never know whether you could have done the job. And I'm sick of not knowing about my life.
Sophie Kinsella
The way I write is totally instinctive. I just write what I feel or what I find funny - and hope everyone else agrees.
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
There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive.
Sophie Kinsella
It's a GIRL. It's a little girl, with scrunched-up petal lips and a tuft of dark hair and hands in tiny fits, up by her ears. All that time, that's who was in there. And it's weird, but the minute I saw her I just thought: IT'S YOU. Of course it is.
