Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Quotes

• Actually, my worst nightmare is losing my best friend, as I imagine most people's are.
• I have a real aversion to sentimentality, but I also really want to write about love and friendship.
• I suppose every time [something bad happens], I have that instinct to make that joke that distracts.
• The characters I didn't have actors in mind for, that was the scary moment. Because in any production, until you find the right person, you're constantly judging your writing or what it is that isn't working here or not clicking here, because you have amazing actors coming to read for it, and if something's not clicking, it can't be them because they're amazing actors. You're sort of completely doubting yourself.
• I'm a huge fan of basically anything written about complicated, contradictory women. I'm drawn to them really quickly.
