"All I've ever really done is page 3 in The Sun, and not every man reads that"
About this Quote
The specific intent is boundary-setting: stop treating me like a national crisis or a national treasure. By saying “all I’ve ever really done,” she frames her fame as narrow, almost niche, and then drives the wedge in with “not every man reads that.” That clause matters. It punctures the lazy assumption that her image was unavoidable, that she somehow “represented” all women, or that all men consumed the same tabloid pipeline. She’s calling out the way critics and moralists universalize a very particular media ecosystem, then blame the woman inside it.
Subtext: you don’t get to project your anxieties about sex, class, and tabloid culture onto me and call it critique. Price positions herself as both commodity and commentator, acknowledging the transactional nature of Page 3 while highlighting its limits. In the late-90s/2000s UK, Page 3 was shorthand for lad culture’s confidence; her joke exposes how flimsy that confidence was, how dependent it was on pretending that one newspaper’s gaze was the whole country’s reality.
