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.

More quotes by Dawn French
I am a kid in the dressing-up box at heart.
Dawn French
What was I thinking? Fact is I wasn't thinking. I didn't want to think. I wanted to feel.

I'll always be a fat girl and I am happy with that.

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.
Dawn French
Why would I worry about getting older - what's to moan about?
Dawn French
If I were alive in Rubens's time, I'd be celebrated as a model. Kate Moss would be used as a paint brush.
Dawn French

Dawn French
In actual life I am a grumpy old bag.
Dawn French
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
I haven't really ever had to audition for anything.
Dawn French
I've often said the most difficult things I have to say to people through humour. I can very quickly put someone in their place with it. But we all walk away unscathed because there's been some funnies around it, and I'll usually make sure that it comes back at me.
Dawn French
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.
Dawn French
I don't know what the future holds, but I have to be confident about it. It's just the way I am.
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.
Dawn French
Im constantly astounded by how amazing women are. And as we go through all these different stages of life as long as you share them with others and say, Well, this is bloody weird, you can get through everything.
