"I've generally got low levels of embarrassment." — Caitlin Moran

When I saw 'Pretty In Pink' at the cinema at the age of 11, I just thought it was a period piece from maybe 100 years previously. I had no idea that was what everybody was supposed to be wearing.

Simultaneously, my two biggest heroes are Susan Sontag and Morticia Addams from 'The Addams Family.'

In the end, I want to spend my 60s writing bonkbusters like Jilly Cooper.

The kind of classic pose of a female model is to look kind of sexy and a bit annoyed.

I hate that tabloid idea of anybody who is famous having to forfeit their privacy.

I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.

My core belief is that if you're complaining about something for more than three minutes, two minutes ago you should have done something about it.

I've learnt that you tend most to make a div of yourself when you're trying to cover up the fact that you don't know what you're doing. And that simply saying 'I don't know what I'm doing' is a massive relief.
