More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
You can want and want and want, but if he doesn't want you back ... you might as well wish the sky were red.
Sophie Kinsella
I don't speak Japanese, I don't know anything about Japanese business or Japanese culture. Apart from sushi. But I can't exactly go up to him and say Sushi! out of the blue. It would be like going up to a top American businessman and saying, T-bone steak!

I did a lot of shopping for her in Tokyo because the colors here are very conservative. A shopaholic would have a coat in every color and lots of accessories
Sophie Kinsella
It's not enough to believe! Don't you see that, you stupid girl? You could spend your whole life hoping and believing! If a love affair is one-sided, then it's only ever a question, never an answer. You can't live your life waiting for an answer.
Sophie Kinsella
I change my mind so much, I'm better going on my own. Shopping is a selfish activity anyway.
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

Your father always tries to see the good side of people to find the excuse. But sometimes there isn't a good side. There isn't an excuse. (Mom - to Lara Lington)
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
My childhood was spent embracing one literary heroine after another. I identified passionately with each one and would slavishly imitate them.
Sophie Kinsella
I am not a label snob and have learned that the thrill of shopping can be just as great, if not more so, when you find a bargain.
Sophie Kinsella
...you may be able to sway people's heads. But you can't sway their hearts.
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
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
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
Jeez Louise. I know why rich people are so thin: it's from trekking around their humongous houses the whole time.
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
There are moments in life that the white-chocolate Magnum ice cream was invented for, and this is one of them.
Sophie Kinsella
Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos. Or if you could instruct people to disregard what you just said, like in a courtroom.
