There are less than 1 per cent of anorexic girls but there more than 30 per cent of girls in France - I don't know about England - that are much much overweight. And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health.

As a bookish child in Calcutta I used to thrill to the adventures of bad girls whose pursuit of happiness swept them outside the bounds of social decency. Tess of the d'Urbervilles Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina lived large in my imagination. The naughty girls of Hollywood films flirted and knew how to drive.

It's not attractive when girls get superskinny. Guys don't like it. Girls don't like you as much. You lose some happiness when that's all you think about.

When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.

In the summer we graduated we flipped out completely drinking beer cruising in our cars and beating up each other. It was a crazy summer. That's when I started to be interested in girls.

Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.

My purpose... to go on with my heart and soul devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts and heart and hand with them we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy healthy and holy.

Girls are the future mothers of our society and it is important that we focus on their well-being.

They're great girls. They're very funny they're very smart they're fun to be with. They're very lively as I think people can tell. And you know they're very confident girls.

I tell girls all the time that the men that have fallen in love with me have all fallen during a man repeller stage... funny how life works out like that.
