More quotes by Helen Fielding
When Bridget [Jones] does finally get pregnant, she 's bound to mess it up, but what I tried to show is the importance of love and kindness rather than perfection, and the importance of support from friends who help you to laugh at your mistakes and pick yourself up afterwards.
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
It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting Cathy and banging your head against a tree.
Helen Fielding

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
In terms of myself, my next big plan is to loose 7llb (as I've been planning to do since I was seventeen) Also to go to the gym three times a week, not merely to buy a sandwich. And also de-clutter the garage.
Helen Fielding
I'd been working on the [Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries material] for years, first, in the Independent newspaper columns and then in the various versions of the movie scripts.
Helen Fielding
In the end there is nothing more unattractive to men than radical feminism.
Helen Fielding
Valentine's Day purely commercial, cynical enterprise, anyway. Matter of supreme indifference to me.
Helen Fielding
I realize it has become too easy to find a diet to fit in with whatever you happen to feel like eating and that diets are not there to be picked and mixed but picked and stuck to, which is exactly what I shall begin to do once I've eaten this chocolate croissant.
Helen Fielding
I come from Yorkshire in England where we like to eat chip sandwiches - white bread, butter, tomato ketchup and big fat french fries cooked in beef dripping.
Helen Fielding
Oh God. valentine's Day tomorrow. Why? Why? Why is (the) entire world geared to make people not involved in romance feel stupid when everyone knows romance does not work anyway. Look at (the) royal family. Look at Mum and Dad.
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
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
I am brave, though I am alone.
Helen Fielding
Bridget Jones' Baby, at heart is about the gap between how you expect life to turn out and how it actually does.
Helen Fielding
One must not live one's life through men but must be complete on oneself as a woman of substance.
