There's a side of me that dislikes feminism. I think we surrendered something and women were unable to reveal any kind of vulnerability.

Once I was chased by the king of all scorpions. I have the most notorious animal stories.

Because I've been on the receiving end of infidelity, I know how much it hurts.

I went out with this boy on the proviso that he didn't tell anybody we were together. The idiot didn't keep his mouth shut. I dumped him. I never went out with a boy from school again.

Men act out like they're horrified by marriage, but when they find the woman of their dreams, they love it.

I'm a dreadful romantic. No matter what I go through in life, I want to fall in love with a man.

It was all about flying round the world, working hard, being on the cover of Vogue, making money. It wasn't fun. It was exhausting, but I was young and convinced I knew best.

I'm very girly. I love to talk about diets, exercise, kids, make-up.

The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.

Sometimes I think I am still that 5-year-old girl playing with her dogs in the yard. That's how I see myself.

Rod has such a wicked sense of humour. I loved him very much.

I love men. They are intelligent and sensitive, but there's also that hard-edged arrogant side, which is just so attractive.

I'd like to open an animal orphanage in Kenya. I do a lot of work for Born Free.

My dad was very fun and very adventurous, and from a formative age I learned to value men who would do things on a whim.

All you need is a bad angle and suddenly you're 30 pounds overweight.

And I'm a pretty positive person - I don't put a lot of energy into worrying, and I'm not a person who lives in a great deal of fear.

Anyone can look beautiful.

But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous, then it's the actresses, then it's the designers.

By the time I was 29 I'd spent eight years with someone else's group of friends. I had no idea what it was like to be a woman with mates of her own to socialize with.

God and death kind of resemble each other, because the only time a lot of people will try and talk to God is when someone's died.

I am a very open person, and I'm always nervous of being misconstrued. Sitting in the middle of a restaurant makes me nervous. I feel like I'm being judged. And it's funny that I should feel that way.

I think 30 is a big jump from your 20s, but 40 holds no fear for me.

I think I'd be more relaxed as an older mum, although fundamentally life with a baby is pretty much the same whatever age you are. It's nappies, crying, feeding.

Like lots of women who marry young and find themselves mothers by the time they're 25, I felt I no longer had an identity.

Love is just chemistry.

Teach your children everything that you're not, because they will pick up on everything that you are.

All you need is a bad angle and suddenly youre 30 pounds overweight.

Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating.

I got more and more politically active and just followed the course of feminism and sexual liberation.

My feminism is humanism, with the weakest being those who I represent, and that includes many beings and life forms, including some men.

Even now, after whatever gains feminism has made in involving fathers in the rearing of their children, I still think virtually all of us spend the most formative years of our lives very much in the presence of women.

Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction.

What, do you think that feminism means you hate men?

'I hate discussions of feminism that end up with who does the dishes,' she said. So do I. But at the end, there are always the damned dishes.

I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.

Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots.

Sotomayor's vainglorious lecture bromide about herself as "a wise Latina" trumping white men is a vulgar embarrassment - a vestige of the bad old days of male-bashing feminism.

Has feminism made us all more conscious? I think it has. Feminist critiques of anthropological masculine bias have been quite important, and they have increased my sensitivity to that kind of issue.

The cornerstone of the political correctness that dominates campus culture is radical feminism.

I think feminism has had a major impact on anthropology.

Feminism is a political mistake. Feminism is a mistake made by women's intellect, a mistake which her instinct will recognize.

People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.

Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues, the legal issues, sexual harassment, date rape, women who kill, and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.

Sexual harassment law is very important. But I think it would be a mistake if the sexual harassment law movement is the only way in which feminism is known in the media.

The young women in my classes are feisty and clever and believe, often with the passion of youthful optimism, that feminism is a battle already won. I worry for them - and for my daughters, too.
