Oh God, what's wrong with me? Why does nothing ever work out?

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.

..we were always taught, instead of waiting to be swept off our feet, to 'expect little, forgive much'.
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.
