“I want a future where women and girls get to be the subject of their own sexuality, not the object of somebody else’s. That we are the main characters in our own play, not props in somebody else’s—which is how women’s sexuality is treated now. Whatever the outside attitudes about sexuality it’s always about somebody’s agenda for us, and I want a world where we can have our own.”

Play
“Hugh and I were writing and we would write everyday - Monday to Friday and we ‘d give ourselves the weekend off. I was asked if I would present a documentary on the Chess Olympiad in Greece and it was great because it was only 4 days (Friday to Monday). So, for some reason, I said to Hugh “I can’t come in Friday because I’ve got something or rather ” and anyway, the point is that he found out. He found out that what I was actually doing was flying to Greece and making a documentary and coming back Monday night. So it was basically a long weekend which was not a bigger deal. But it was, as parents say to their children - it’s the fact that you lied. So he was furious. But it had an upside because there was a letter when I got back that was saying- and it said “Because it’s as if you don’t understand how much I love you” he said. He used that word!”
