More quotes by Sally Phillips
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
Sally Phillips
One year you go in for auditions, and everybody thinks you're the queen of comedy, and the next year, you're so 'yesterday,' and it's not because you've done anything, or your ability has changed you haven't been in work because you've been putting on weight and then trying to lose it.
Sally Phillips
I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.
Sally Phillips

Sally Phillips
I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.

As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script. I'm not the world's best writer or the world's best actor, but I can do that thing where I can fix - or ruin - fix-slash-ruin, add quirk, add value.

Sally Phillips
I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.
Sally Phillips
When I'm depressed, I definitely comfort eat, but I also eat when I'm happy. The only time I don't eat is if I am terribly nervous.
Sally Phillips
The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.
Sally Phillips
A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.
Sally Phillips
TV feels quite constipated, and the thing I find particularly difficult is the branding of the channels where it's not 'Is it a good script?' but 'Is it a BBC2 script?'
Sally Phillips
I don't leave London, really, and I don't do theatre, because I want to put the kids to bed.
Sally Phillips
Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
Sally Phillips
Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.
Sally Phillips
All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
