- Change theme
Quotes by Julie Burchill
- We are used to female writers who use their private lives as unmitigated material being somewhat hormonal this somehow 'excuses' what might be seen as a highly unfeminine ability to turn their personal upsets into money.
- What I find most upsetting about this new all-consuming beauty culture is that the obsession with good looks, and how you can supposedly attain them, is almost entirely female-driven.
- What sort of sap doesn't know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway?
- When did women whose looks are not their living start conducting themselves like the simpering inmates of an Ottoman empire seraglio?
- When I moved out of London 13 years ago, I found a whole other reason not to drive. This was because my new husband Dan, unlike my dad, did drive, and this became a great source of fun and adventure.
- Women, more often than not, do things which aren't remotely relaxing but are all about preening, which is just another sort of work.
