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
Why would I worry about getting older - what's to moan about?
Dawn French
Evolving into a middle-aged person is quite interesting if we can understand what it means. I would like to think it meant being a bit sure of what I want.
Dawn French
People need to learn to take everyone as they are.

I've always loved kissing. We all do, don't we?
Dawn French
Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of that.
Dawn French
My approach to parenting is that everything is open - everything. I'm not very good at covert, or subtle, and I've had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit.
Dawn French
I am a rubbish flirt.
Dawn French
Theatre outings are my favourite thing to spend money on. The most influential play I saw was Bent, which starred Ian McKellen. And I loved the original performance of The Rocky Horror Show, with Richard OBrien and Tim Curry at the Royal Court, when I was about 15.
Dawn French
Divorce is not easy, but if you genuinely put your kids first, that dictates the civility you should show each other. What example are you otherwise?
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.
