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
I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.
Sally Phillips
I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.

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
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 don't leave London, really, and I don't do theatre, because I want to put the kids to bed.

My blood runs cold when I hear the 'great news' that we have found a marker for the Down's syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It's only good news if you're going to terminate.

If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.

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 truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.
Sally Phillips
Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
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
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
I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.
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.
