More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
I had fun. That’s what I believe in. Fun, flings, the sizzle. It starts as a shiver, when you see a man for the first time. And then he meets your eye and the shiver runs down your back and becomes a sizzle in your stomach and you think 'I want to dance with that man.' You dance, you have a cocktail or two, you flirt.

Lover? I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see.

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
Whoever it was, whether I knew them or not, if I could help in some way, I would. I mean, if you can help, you have to help. Don't you think? - Poppy Wyatt
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 chose to publish the first 'Shopaholic' book under a pseudonym because I wanted it to be judged on its own merits.
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
Life takes us on different paths... It's not up to us to evaluate or judge them, merely respect and embrace them. (Lara Lington - to Sadie Lancaster)
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
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, that deep down you know it's all bullshit.
Sophie Kinsella
That's the way it goes. Some things happen and some things don't. This one is obviously just wasn't meant to be. Except deep down... I still believe it was.
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
We’re on this planet for too short a time. And at the end of the day, what’s more important? Knowing that a few meaningless figures balanced—or knowing that you were the person you wanted to be?
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
You won’t let me buy any clothes. Now you won’t let me buy a road map, either! I need to spend some money or I’m going to go crazy!
Sophie Kinsella
Don’t think about it. Don’t think about what could have been. It’s too unbearable.
