More quotes by Helen Fielding
I'd always hoped to write the story as a novel, but there was a long period when the [Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries] movie was stalled and in confusion. I felt frustrated creatively, and just couldn't work on the Baby material till the movie was sorted out.
Helen Fielding
Eventually, I manage to cheer Mum up by allowing her to go through my wardrobe and criticize all my clothes.
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
I think that when you're writing fiction what you're doing is reflecting life as you see it, and putting down how you think and how other people think, and the sort of confusions that you don't normally like to admit to.
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
Oh God, what's wrong with me? Why does nothing ever work out?
Helen Fielding

The whole point of diaries is that other people find them and read what you've put. I did once take to writing my inner thoughts on the computer at the end of other things I was writing and ended up faxing four pages of hideous stuff to my accountant so I don't do that now.
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
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
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
It occurred to me that if Africa needed us, sometimes we needed Africa a great deal more.
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 am brave, though I am alone.
Helen Fielding
No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.
Helen Fielding
I was writing an earnest novel about cruises in the Caribbean and I just started writing 'Bridget Jones' to get some money, to finance this earnest work, and then I chucked it out.
Helen Fielding
With so many dark things to worry about in the world right now, I hope people will just go with the fun and enjoy [ Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries].
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.
