I made my excuses and left, thinking, really, after a certain age, people are just going to do what they're going to do and you're either going to accept them as they are or you're not.

Bridget Jones' Baby, at heart is about the gap between how you expect life to turn out and how it actually does.

You see, things being good has nothing to do with how you feel outside, it is all to do with how you are inside.

When someone leaves you, apart from missing them, apart from the fact that the whole little world you've created together collapses, and that everything you see or do reminds you of them, the worst is the thought that they tried you out and, in the end, the whole sum of parts adds up to you got stamped REJECT by the one you love. How can you not be left with the personal confidence of a passed over British Rail sandwich?

You'll never get a boyfriend if you look like you wandered out of Auschwitz.

Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.

If the stories don't come from the inside out, then Bridget [Jones] is not being true to herself and it's very important to me that she stays that way.
