Benedict Cumberbatch is very beautiful.

My parents were hippies. I'm the eldest of eight children.

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.
Caitlin Moran -
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.
Caitlin Moran -
I don't think there should be anything that women are embarrassed to talk about in the 21st century, because for the last 100,000 years, men have said everything that's on their minds and described everything they have done.
Caitlin Moran -
I can't think of anything I hate more than a former punk - they are the most self-righteous people in the world.
Caitlin Moran -
I am pathetically law-abiding.
Caitlin Moran -
People get really scared when women reclaim words, talk about themselves honestly and also make jokes because it's a really unstoppable combination.

The word 'spinster' tells you everything you need to know about our attitude of women who choose not to marry.
Caitlin Moran -
Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away.
Caitlin Moran -
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!
Caitlin Moran -
As far as I'm concerned, you're a feminist by default if you're born in the Western world right now.
Caitlin Moran -
I like a little bit of revolution. I think it's a very good hobby for a young woman. Better than squash.
Caitlin Moran -
I know people go on about Twitter, but it is amazing. It's whatever you want it to be, and all the women got in there before the boys.

In the early '90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they're the biggest band in the world.
Caitlin Moran -
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.
Caitlin Moran -
I once went into a meeting, and every woman put her a million-pound bag on the table. Then I'm there with my tote bag and anorak. And I'm like, well, I'm still the most important person in the room right now.
Caitlin Moran -
It was the Spice Girls who messed it all up. And obviously, the appropriating of the phrase "girl power", which at that point overrode any notion of feminism, and which was a phrase that meant absolutely nothing apart from being friends with your girlfriends.
Caitlin Moran -
I am not good at small talk. I will hide in a cupboard to avoid chitty-chat.
Caitlin Moran -
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.

If you're not a confident person, pretend to be one.
Caitlin Moran -
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.
Caitlin Moran -
I see feminism as a massive party. It's cool, the idea that 50% of the population can now start doing things and having fun and experimenting with their hair and makeup.
Caitlin Moran -
The idea of not being able to control my own fertility genuinely terrifies me. That one mistake might change your life. That everything I am, and do, could be ended by the repeal of laws our mothers fought so hard for, that women had waited for the entire span of humanity to come about.
