More quotes by 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 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
I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.
Sally Phillips
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
Sally Phillips
I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.
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
All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
Sally Phillips
I don't get star-struck at all.
Sally Phillips
People have really strong images of what church is, and it's almost certainly not the same as mine.
Sally Phillips

Sally Phillips
Once you have a Down's syndrome child, you can't conform. In a way, you're free.
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
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 truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.
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
I start the day with the intention of doing 4,000 sit-ups but then have to work.
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
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
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.
