I almost choke on my popcorn when I hear film stars, who walk on red carpets as much as the rest of us do on zebra crossings, criticising youngsters who crave fame.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fact is, famous people say fame stinks because they love it so - like a secret restaurant or holiday island they don't want the hoi polloi to get their grubby paws on.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile.

A good part - and definitely the most fun part - of being a feminist is about frightening men.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A woman who looks like a girl and thinks like a man is the best sort, the most enjoyable to be and the most pleasurable to have and to hold.
- Better Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As with most liberal sexual ideas, what makes the world a better place for men invariably makes it a duller and more dangerous place for women.
- Old
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fame is no sanctuary from the passing of youth... suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact.
- Homeless
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From paying off friends' tax bills to rescuing stray dogs and stuffing £20 notes into the hands of homeless people, I can't get rid of my money fast enough.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because I was an only, I had more things, and I remember early on the kick I got from giving stuff away. Despite all the myths about only children not being able to share, actually I've never knowingly met a stingy one.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A therapist might suggest my generosity is a way of buying affection. But buying people's love has never been an issue for me. Generally speaking, I don't want their love.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a child, I wanted only two things - to be left alone to read my library books, and to get away from my provincial hometown and go to London to be a writer. And I always knew that when I got there, I wanted to make loads of money.
- Fat
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People - and I include myself - get fat because they choose pleasure over self-denial.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just have a real problem with people who seek to portray fatness or thinness as moral concepts.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Big women do themselves a disservice when they attempt to become the Righteous Fat (the Righteous Thin are bad enough, all that running around and sweating, somehow believing it means anything).
- Intelligent
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are exciting, intelligent, fat people - and exciting, intelligent, thin people.
- Duty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a militant troublemaker, I once wrote that it was the duty of every woman worthy of the description to upset men at least three times a day, on principle.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When a man wants to relax, he will slob out and really relax. Or he will pursue a hobby - anything from building models to watching sport.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Lots of women love to accuse men of being immature when the fellow in question displays a reluctance to 'commit.'
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mind you, I've always been a very off-message type of fat broad; one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure, and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.
- Idleness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Gluttony and idleness are two of life's great joys, but they are not honourable.
- Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my 'Top Ten' friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown.
- Clothes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Having 'best friends' is - at least for me - as outdated and small-minded a concept as the idea of 'Sunday best clothes.'
- Must
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To believe that one, or even three, mates can supply all the things one needs from one's friends is as stupid as believing married couples must do everything together.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As I have got older, I have found myself making friends with the ease and swiftness that other people pick up fuzzballs on their jumpers. And I believe it is probably my lack of longing for 'The One' that makes me so popular.
- Group
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The latest twist on the pampering concept is spa parties, where a group of friends take over an entire spa.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Can I just say here how much I hate the word 'pamper'? While pretending to celebrate and indulge women, it actually implies that their bodies are so revolting that even their 'me time' must be dedicated to turning them into living dolls if potential suitors are to be prevented from running screaming in horror.
- Gravy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's something brave and touching about game girls of all ages keeping themselves smart in hard times - one thinks of those wonderful women during World War II drawing stocking seams in eyebrow pencil up the back of legs stained with gravy browning because nylons were so hard to get hold of.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Grooming oneself with all the crazed compulsion of an under-exercised lab rat in order to hook a rich man and obtain a lush lifestyle makes a certain (albeit seedy) sense.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really care what people tell children - when you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, one more fib won't hurt. But I am infuriated by the growing notion, posited in some touchy-feely quarters, that all women are, or can be, beautiful.
