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
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
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.
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.

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
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
The children break all my jewelry, so everything I wear is cheap - from Topshop or Dorothy Perkins.
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
All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
Sally Phillips
I start the day with the intention of doing 4,000 sit-ups but then have to work.
Sally Phillips
The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.
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
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
Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.
Sally Phillips
My mum's from Yorkshire and my parents aren't snotty or posh - they're very hard workers, both of them.
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
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 truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.
Sally Phillips
Once you have a Down's syndrome child, you can't conform. In a way, you're free.
Sally Phillips
I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.
