Peaches Geldof

“I didn't start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16.”

“I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out.”

“I don't feel like I need to be a successor to my mother, or her work.”

“Broadsheets can be scathing. But I have respect for broadsheet journalists because they haven't succumbed to degrading themselves, to writing pidgin English with all these terrible colloquialisms, the phrasing of which is just, like, embarrassing.”

“A lot of paparazzi wanted to be real photographers but they failed, and they did that instead, and it's not right; it's stalking.”

“I want to be a good wife, a good mother, a good person.”

“You're required to be outspoken in journalism, and in television you're exposed anyway, because everyone watches it.”

“You know what I'm intrigued by? Like, space and wormholes and Stephen Hawking's theories and Richard Dawkins's theories. That's what I care about.”

“I hate ridiculous names; my weird name has haunted me all my life.”

“I hate being called spoilt. My life is ordinary.”
