“I was writing an earnest novel about cruises in the Caribbean and I just started writing 'Bridget Jones' to get some money, to finance this earnest work, and then I chucked it out.”
Helen Fielding“Eventually, I manage to cheer Mum up by allowing her to go through my wardrobe and criticize all my clothes...”
Helen Fielding“Oh God, what's wrong with me? Why does nothing ever work out?”
Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary“It's all chop-change chop-change with you. Either go out with me and treat me nicely, or leave me alone. As I say, I am not interested in fuckwittage.”

Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary“As women glide from their twenties to thirties, Shazzer argues, the balance of power subtly shifts.

Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary“It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree.”

Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary“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?”
