Caitlin Moran Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Caitlin Moran:

In the U.K., we have a paper called 'The Daily Mail,' which is quite misogynist. And every day, it just writes pieces about: 'Women, you're going to die now! Women, here's shoes that give you cancer! Women, just hate yourselves!'

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

If you're not a confident person, pretend to be one.

Caitlin Moran

I'm so glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely.

Caitlin Moran

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.

Caitlin Moran

Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.

Caitlin Moran

The doughy-faced woman has been forced to sit on the sidelines of culture for too long, and it's now time for us to stand up with our big round faces like the moon and say we have things to say, too. We have a round-faced agenda we want to push.

Caitlin Moran

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

Caitlin Moran

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.

When my children say, 'In the future, Mummy, will things get better or worse for humanity?' I say: 'Who knows, since Amy Winehouse died. It's all in the air now. Eat your broccoli.'

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.

Caitlin Moran

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

Caitlin Moran

It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn't have this problem. Now, it seems we're all squeezed into random designs. They're designed for no one.

Caitlin Moran

Once you become poor, tired and time-constrained, you become a much better human being.

Caitlin Moran

I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.

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.

Caitlin Moran

Mental health is seen as a massive drag to have to write about - worthy, dull. Something you should 'have' to read / write about.

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

I do not... look very feminine. Diana, Princess of Wales is feminine... I am... femi-none.

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.

Caitlin Moran

Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.

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 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.

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

Caitlin Moran

Feminism means something - legislation, cultural change - but 'Girl Power' meant nothing more than being friends with your friends.

Caitlin Moran

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.

Caitlin Moran

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.

Caitlin Moran

I've generally got low levels of embarrassment.

Caitlin Moran

When I learned that flour pound for pound has as many calories as sugar, and that when eating pasta you're basically eating cake, I was size 23, and my neck was restricting my breathing, and so I got on a microbiotic diet and got myself an exercise bike.
