About Sally Phillips: Sally Elizabeth Phillips is an English actress.
As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script. I'm not the world's best writer or the world's best actor,...
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
What having a Down's syndrome child isn't - and I feel very strongly about this - is a tragedy. All those pregnancy books you read when you are expecting refer to Down's syndrome as if it were the worst possible outcome, and it's not.
My mum's from Yorkshire and my parents aren't snotty or posh - they're very hard workers, both of them.
It's quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.
When I'm a brunette, it's four times harder to hail a taxi. Then I go blonde again, and suddenly there are taxis everywhere.
I don't leave London, really, and I don't do theatre, because I want to put the kids to bed.
I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.
My first film crush was Mark Lester as Oliver Twist in the Carol Reed film.
I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.
All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.
I don't get star-struck at all.
A lot of things in 'Parents' I find very truthful.
The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.
I don't have the self-discipline for diets; I break rules I set for myself, so I try and eat more healthily, juice more, and avoid sugar.
I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.
I have three boys, so I live in a household full of testosterone.
I'm very devoted to my kids - I'm completely blind to their faults.
