More quotes by Helen Fielding
If the stories don't come from the inside out, then Bridget [Jones] is not being true to herself and it's very important to me that she stays that way.
Helen Fielding
When someone loves you it's like having a blanket all round your heart.
Helen Fielding
You see, things being good has nothing to do with how you feel outside, it is all to do with how you are inside.
Helen Fielding
Exes should never, never go out with or marry other people but should remain celibate to the end of their days in order to provide you with a mental fallback position.
Helen Fielding
I think the pressure to be perfect generally in life has amped up massively in the last twenty years: especially for young people with the advent of social media.
Helen Fielding
Of course the chronology of the books is a bit back- to - front, and books usually come out before movies. But happily, these [Bridget Jones's] are fictional comedy diaries - not a history of the Battle of Waterloo.
Helen Fielding
Oh God, what's wrong with me? Why does nothing ever work out?
Helen Fielding
That's when the idea for Mad About the Boy arrived. It wasn't even a Bridget [Jones] story initially - then I realized I was writing in Bridget's voice and it grew from there into a Bridget novel.
Helen Fielding
It occurred to me that if Africa needed us, sometimes we needed Africa a great deal more.
Helen Fielding
You'll never get a boyfriend if you look like you wandered out of Auschwitz.
Helen Fielding
I got into my usual obsessive writing frenzy, using all the material I'd worked on for so long and crafting it into a little novel [Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries].
Helen Fielding
There are so many images pushed at women and so many ideas of what you're supposed to be. I think there's too much of this superwoman, this woman with a bottom like two billiard balls. There's no real celebration of just being a person.
Helen Fielding
I will not Drink more than fourteen alcohol units a week.
Helen Fielding
Valentine's Day purely commercial, cynical enterprise, anyway. Matter of supreme indifference to me.
Helen Fielding
More than two years after Mad About the Boy was published, the [Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries ] movie started coming together. I felt better about the material, and found myself writing a letter from Bridget to her son: explaining the original story of how he came to be, from his own Mum.
Helen Fielding
No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.
Helen Fielding
For me, writing Bridget's [Jones] stories is an instinctive, organic thing, which tends to happen more by accident than design.
Helen Fielding
I like you very much. Just as you are.
Helen Fielding
In the end there is nothing more unattractive to men than radical feminism.
Helen Fielding
I always market research my books before I hand them in by showing them to five or six close friends who I trust to be honest with me, so they are very heavily re-written already.
