A biography for Phoebe Waller-Bridgehasn’t been written yet.
“I always knew that saying the unsayable was going to be a powerful thing.”
“I really desperately want to write and direct my own movie.”
“I've been so obsessed with 'Game of Thrones,' and there's so much about nobility and duty that I think about a lot.”
“Women know what they're doing all the time, and they're pretending that they don't.”
“I think there's something funny about people who laugh in the face of convention or surprise us morally.”
“I'm obsessed with audiences and obsessed with the journey that an audience goes on.”
“Throughout a lot of my 20s, my sexual allure and power was one of the most important things about me, my currency.”
“When an audience is laughing with a character, they make themselves so vulnerable, and they open up. They expose their heart the moment they're laughing, because they're relaxed and they're disarmed.”
“I don't think there's an actor in the world who ever expects to get a call from the 'Star Wars' casting director - least of all me.”
“I can't deny 'Fleabag''s a very personal piece, but it's not autobiographical.”
“I change my mind every five minutes. I'm very brutal with my own process. I throw everything away very quickly, and then I have to go out and rummage through the rubbish in the middle of the night to try to find a bit I'd written a week ago.”
“It will always be relevant and always be inspiring to see somebody turning themselves into a warrior.”
“Every single performance of 'Fleabag,' I would learn so much from the audience reaction or how you could change it all the time, and I loved that sense that the performance is ever-growing and changing and could be affected by the audience.”
“The main relationship in the whole series was the one between the camera and Fleabag. I had to convince myself that whoever was watching on the other side of the camera was instantly complicit with Fleabag and instantly a friend of hers.”
“This world of 'Star Wars' is just so accepting and beautiful that the idea a droid and a human are trying to waddle their way into a relationship is something that's celebrated.”
“There's something very polite about the British accents. It's sort of sanitizing.”
“However much people want to politicize every movement of a controversial woman in life or on the screen, we just have to keep being personal and truthful, or we will explode.”
“I really, really wanted to write about just female relationships with other females and things.”
“Fleabag knows men and women are equal and should be treated as such, but what she's confused about - and what I was confused about - was the idea that wanting bigger boobs doesn't mean you don't want equal rights.”
“Whenever I get stuck on something, I'm like, 'What would I do if I wasn't afraid? What would I write if I wasn't afraid? What would I say in this situation if I wasn't afraid?'”
