More quotes by Sally Phillips
I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.
Sally Phillips

Sally Phillips
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
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.
Sally Phillips
I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.
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.
