Poor privileged white men. Their stranglehold on power is slowly being loosened.
People have always assumed that I am privileged. And that has been a problem sometimes. When I first started modelling, and I was schlepping around London with no money, I found it rather irksome that people thought I had a private income when I didn’t.
Even though people pretend that medical records are privileged information, anyone can already get their hands on them.
I feel privileged to be able to do what I enjoy doing and that I also get paid to do it. That gives me great pleasure.
It is feasible for someone who comes from a privileged background to understand the privilege they have had and to use the formal political arena in a way that would disperse power and engage with people in their own lives.
Life at the top may be privileged, but it is not simple.
I’m in a privileged position and I’m going to do my utmost to use that privileged position on behalf of the U.K., its citizens, its businesses and people.
Feminism is for all women and girls, not a privileged few or one ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference, ability, region or hemisphere.
Politically it’s easy to salve one’s conscience, no matter that salving it rarely makes the problem go away.

I don’t know exactly when I started watching television, but I know that Muppets and Smurfs hold privileged places in my memory. Without television, I surely could have mastered several classical languages or learned to play the violin, right?
My mother’s Maori, and my father’s Australian. I take my strength from both my ancestors, and I’m really privileged.
I went to a very posh school, I had a very privileged upbringing with parents who were incredibly loving and brilliant. I’ve never tried to hide that; I’m not going to change my accent or talk in a different way.

I was privileged to know the late, great Miss Etta James, and I did get a chance to spend some time with her and hang out with her.
I personally feel like the conversation around feminism has advanced a lot. People are starting to realize privileged white feminism isn’t cutting it. We have to look at the holistic experience of all women, or assigned women, on the planet.
People ask if I feel pigeon-holed by always doing the same kind of humorous role. But my tool has always been humor because it’s the most entertaining way to put any ideology across, and it’s fun, and it’s positive, and it’s a healer. Laughter is God’s gift. I feel privileged to be able to do it.
I understand that I am in an extremely privileged position and I am deeply thankful for that but, at the end of the day, we are all human.
I’m so supported, and I’m so privileged. So many women today are single parents; I don’t feel different. I think you get out of life what you put into it… and Bluebell was a beautiful accident. I feel blessed to have her. I’m learning every day as a mother.
