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.

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

The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.

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
Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.

Once you have a Down's syndrome child, you can't conform. In a way, you're free.
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
Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
Sally Phillips
I start the day with the intention of doing 4,000 sit-ups but then have to work.
Sally Phillips
I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.
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
I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.
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 get star-struck at all.
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
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
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 never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.

I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.
