"Turning 50 can be difficult, sometimes dangerous, for women. The danger is in that blip that can come from the fact that you become invisible, and if you're not careful and don't embrace that, it can trip you up and you lose confidence."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I have had the unfortunate experience of having someone write an unauthorised biography of me. Half of it is lies and the other half is badly written. My feeling is that if I'm going to write my life story, I ought to have my life first."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I do think you are supposed to go through wars with your child because otherwise the tearing apart that has to happen when they go off to lead their own life would be unbearable."
Quote by -Dawn French

Quote by -Dawn French
"It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life."
Quote by -Dawn French

Quote by -Dawn French
"For me, whatever age or size I've been, I have rather liked myself. The shell is not the thing at all."
Quote by -Dawn French
"Other than my memory being a bit woolly and my knees being a bit creaky, I don't really think there's anything I can't do."
Quote by -Dawn French
"My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I'd do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I think of myself now as a writer, although I wouldn't go as far as to say 'novelist' because that sounds like a Victorian person."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I'm constantly astounded by how amazing women are. And as we go through all these different stages of life as long as you share them with others and say, 'Well, this is bloody weird', you can get through everything."
Quote by -Dawn French
"My daughter couldn't care less about me being famous. She finds it revolting and, like a lot of teenagers, is virtually allergic to me. That started at 12 and hasn't gone anywhere yet."
Quote by -Dawn French
"When I wrote 'Dear Fatty,' I realised that sitting and writing alone is an absolute joy."
Quote by -Dawn French

Quote by -Dawn French

Quote by -Dawn French
"The only time I did not know how to be, physically, was when I lost a lot of weight. That was the only time I didn't understand my body."
Quote by -Dawn French
"Any people whose lives are about the way they look, whether it's fat or thin, are in a dangerous area."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I'm known among my friends for saying things I probably shouldn't sometimes, but I have to get things out in the air."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I watch schlock telly. Like the 'Kardashians.' I love it. It's my guilty pleasure."
Quote by -Dawn French
"Why would anyone want to be called a size zero or even aspire to being a zero? I don't even understand the thinking behind it, let alone the practicalities. What is all that about?"
Quote by -Dawn French
"My approach to parenting is that everything is open - everything. I'm not very good at covert, or subtle, and I've had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit."
Quote by -Dawn French
"Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of that."
Quote by -Dawn French

Quote by -Dawn French
"I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up."
Quote by -Dawn French
"It's not that I don't like my mum's face; it's just that it belongs on her, not me."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I don't read novels whilst I'm writing one; I just haven't got a wide enough brain to concentrate on incoming and outgoing in the same time zone."
Quote by -Dawn French

Quote by -Dawn French
"Evolving into a middle-aged person is quite interesting if we can understand what it means. I would like to think it meant being a bit sure of what I want."
Quote by -Dawn French
"I've often said the most difficult things I have to say to people through humour. I can very quickly put someone in their place with it. But we all walk away unscathed because there's been some funnies around it, and I'll usually make sure that it comes back at me."
