More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
Look into your heart- and go after what you really want.
Sophie Kinsella
The great thing about being a novelist is that you organize your own day.
Sophie Kinsella
If you're single, then I'm single? What's that supposed to be? Lyrics to a pop song?
Sophie Kinsella
Life is like an escalator. You see, it carries you on regardless. And you might as well enjoy the view and seize every opportunity while you're passing. Otherwise, it'll be too late.
Sophie Kinsella
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, that deep down you know it's all bullshit.
Sophie Kinsella
I always thought 'chick lit' meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it's not the ideal term when I'm asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that's what I feel they are. But I'm quite pragmatic.
Sophie Kinsella
Ciao, I say casually, and flick my hair back. Si. Ciao. I could so be Italian. Except I might have to learn a few more words.
Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella
...you may be able to sway people's heads. But you can't sway their hearts.
Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella
But you can't stay with people because of guilt. Or because they can drive a speedboat.
Sophie Kinsella
This is what's so annoying about going out with Luke. You can't get away with anything.
Sophie Kinsella
There are some things I don't understand about Jess and never will. No wedding dress. No flowers. No photo album. No champagne. The only thing she got out of her wedding was a husband. (I mean, obviously the husband is the main point when you get married. Absolutely. That goes without saying. But still, not even a new pair of shoes?)
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
If you can't be honest with your friends and colleagues and loved ones, then what is life all about?
Sophie Kinsella
Have you ever thought about the grid of Manhattan?' It's like...a metaphor for life. You think you have the freedom to walk anywhere. But in fact... you are strictly controlled. Up or down. Left or right. Nothing in between. No other options.' Life should be like an open space...you should be able to walk in whatever direction you choose.
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
Still, that's the point of love you love someone despite their flaws.
Sophie Kinsella
Women need chocolate. It's a scientific fact.
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.
