Quote

I have women friends who are significantly younger and older than me.

I grew up in a house full of women: my mother, grandmother, three sisters, and two female cats. And I still have the buzz of their conversations in my head. As an adult, I have more female friends than male ones: I just love the way that women talk.

It may be something to do with my having been to a girls' school, but I'm far more comfortable making male friendships than female ones. My friends tend to be men and their significant others.

I do make some conscious efforts to write female friendships, intergenerational female friendships. I make a conscious effort to include things that I see as important real parts of my life that are not reflected as much as I think they should be in popular culture. We very seldom have the opportunity to see women compete and remain friends.

Most of my friends are women - I quite fancied being a woman in a way.

All my friends are girls. I just prefer the company of women.

I was a tomboy and most of my close friends were male.

I don't see why I can't have friends of both sexes without wild rumors being circulated. It's crazy.
