I am pathetically law-abiding.
Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.
You are educated equally to boys. You're expected to go into equal employment with boys. In a marriage, you are legally equal. So, you know, you cannot deny we live in a feminist world.
Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.
Feminism means something - legislation, cultural change - but 'Girl Power' meant nothing more than being friends with your friends.
Benedict Cumberbatch is very beautiful.
As far as I'm concerned, you're a feminist by default if you're born in the Western world right now.
I don't campaign for the end of the aristocracy or the upper classes; I don't really want to destroy anything at all. I just want more plurality.
I hate that tabloid idea of anybody who is famous having to forfeit their privacy.
I am not good at small talk. I will hide in a cupboard to avoid chitty-chat.
I'm so glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely.
I was brought up in a kind of, you know, very hippie, liberal family. And it was just always automatically assumed that men and women were equal and indeed superior.
I wrote my first book at eight, all of four pages. At 10, I did a 40-page story. At 12, I wrote two stage plays.
I think that instead of feminism being a political thing, it should be an act of creativity. It's more of a rock n' roll thing.
