I haven't got the patience for small talk, although I once saw a woman standing on her own in the corner, and I realised it was Monica Lewinsky, and I had the nicest evening with her - she was charming.

The fact is, there is not now, nor has there ever been in the whole of history, a single country in the world where women have equality with men.

My life won't have full quality until we achieve equality for all.

I think communication should be fun and that we should all worry less about how we say things and more about what we say.

My earliest memory is my parents forgetting my fourth birthday. My dad looked up from reading the paper and went, 'Oh my God!' So we went out, and I chose a red scooter.
