More quotes by Dawn French
There is a latent fairy in all women, but look how carefully we have to secrete her in order to be taken seriously. And fairies come in all shapes, colours, sizes and types, they don't have to be fluffy. They can be demanding and furious if hey like. They do, however, have to wear a tiara. That much is compulsory.

You have to let kids live their own lives and make their mistakes, but it is difficult now because there are so many things in their lives which weren't in mine - I never had Facebook. And some of the things I see now I'm appalled by. So I'm as nosey about my daughter's life as I can be. I tell her, 'I'm all over you, whether you like it or not.'

Dawn French
If I had been around when Rubens was painting, I would have been revered as a fabulous model. Kate Moss? Well, she would have been the paintbrush.

Any people whose lives are about the way they look, whether it's fat or thin, are in a dangerous area.
Dawn French
I haven't really ever had to audition for anything.
Dawn French
Why would I worry about getting older - what's to moan about?
Dawn French
I'll always be a fat girl and I am happy with that.
Dawn French
I think of myself now as a writer, although I wouldn't go as far as to say 'novelist' because that sounds like a Victorian person.
Dawn French
I'd like to play a horse, many people think I already have. Either end of the horse would be fine.
Dawn French
I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.
Dawn French
The only time I did not know how to be, physically, was when I lost a lot of weight. That was the only time I didn't understand my body.
Dawn French
When I wrote 'Dear Fatty,' I realised that sitting and writing alone is an absolute joy.

That's the weird thing about not being married - you can't get regular kissing you can't be guaranteed of it, and that's a great shame.
