Telly never has any smart, amusing intellectuals living on a council estate.

We think of feminism as an academic subject, but it's not. If you think feminism is academic, you think there's a right or wrong.
I do not... look very feminine. Diana, Princess of Wales is feminine... I am... femi-none.
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 regret not going to college. Students learn up to the age of 21, then stop. I'll always be learning - the things that really matter in life. How to sign on, how to get free food, how to be streetwise.
Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.
If every woman who's had an abortion took tomorrow off in protest, America would grind to a halt. And that would be symbolic: because women grind to a halt if they are not in control of their fertility.
I'm so glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely.
What is feminism? Simply the belief that women should be as free as men, however nuts, dim, deluded, badly dressed, fat, receding, lazy, and smug they might be.
The first thing to improve society is not banning abortion, but making sure that everyone who had a child is in the best position to be able to rear it.
If you're not a confident person, pretend to be one.
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 never wanted to be famous. It was amusing at first, but now I hate it. I just wanted to be respected by people I respect. And I wanted to be rich. It's best to get rich, then you can do what you want.
I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.
I loved Riot Grrl. Not only was it a punk rock revolution, but it meant you could get dressed for a night out for less than two pounds!
I think there are brilliant jokes to be made about abortion, and we should be able to talk about this in the way that we make jokes about death - you should be able to make jokes about everything.
If you can find a frock you look nice in and can run up three flights of stairs, you're not fat.
I can honestly say that my abortion was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I'm not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what worktops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being.
Feminism means something - legislation, cultural change - but 'Girl Power' meant nothing more than being friends with your friends.
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.
Over-eating is the addiction choice of carers, and that's why it's come to be regarded as the lowest-ranking of all the addictions.
Twitter means all my friends are in my computer. All my ideas are in my computer. I can do whatever I want in there; I'm kind of... bionic.
Every woman who chooses - joyfully, thoughtfully, calmly, of their own free will and desire - not to have a child does womankind a massive favour in the long term.
I don't think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history, it's a prejudice based on simple fact.
