More quotes by Sally Phillips
I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.
Sally Phillips
I've got a great relationship with my dad, but I can imagine how annoying it would be if I had to move back into his house.
Sally Phillips
The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.
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
I have a lot of funny friends, though not everyone's funny all the time. Doon Mackichan's my funniest friend in the pub Nina Conti's the funniest with a monkey.
Sally Phillips
I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.

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 can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.
Sally Phillips
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
Sally Phillips
The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.
Sally Phillips
I think everyone is forgetting what plastic surgery is for - if you have a face-eating tumour, lose a breast or are involved in a car accident, then it's a good idea.
Sally Phillips
When I'm a brunette, it's four times harder to hail a taxi. Then I go blonde again, and suddenly there are taxis everywhere.
Sally Phillips
Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
Sally Phillips
I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.
Sally Phillips
All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
Sally Phillips
The children break all my jewelry, so everything I wear is cheap - from Topshop or Dorothy Perkins.
Sally Phillips
Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.
Sally Phillips
If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.
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 truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.
