I'm no good at anything. Not men. Not social skills. Not work. Nothing.

..we were always taught, instead of waiting to be swept off our feet, to 'expect little, forgive much'.

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

Of course the chronology of the books is a bit back- to - front, and books usually come out before movies. But happily, these [Bridget Jones's] are fictional comedy diaries - not a history of the Battle of Waterloo.

I tend to take [ to Bridget Jones Diaries] something that nearly happened, or might have happened, and then exaggerate it to make it funny and to make it tie into the themes.

I will not get upset over men, but instead be poised and cool ice-queen.

My books have all generated controversy.
