Bridget Jones is part of literary lore now and actually to be a part of it is enormously flattering.
Colin Firth
Bridget Jones has a lot to answer for.
Daisy Donovan
All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing.
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
I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.
Hugh Grant
I'm part Bridget Jones, part Larry David. I'm shy; I'm prude.
Jillian Michaels
Publishers have published women's fiction into a corner, and now we are all trying to punch our way out of it. We just have to write the best books we possibly can and hope that, once the pink covers and Bridget Jones have faded from memory, we might finally be allowed just to be called writers.
Lisa Jewell
When 'Ally McBeal' started, I went, 'Oh, my God.' It's like what I was doing. 'Bridget Jones' was in the same vein. I identify with all of them.
Melanie Mayron
I really love 'Bridget Jones's Diary' - and I love the book, too. You wonder how it ever got made into a movie. She's supposed to be chubby, and two of the hottest guys ever are straight-up fighting over her?
Mindy Kaling
The Cold War was over, presidential sex scandals superseded foreign concerns, and the American public was more interested in reading about fiendish serial killers, dependable mystery series protagonists, and any book thought to be in the vein of Bridget Jones and her abbreviation-happy diary.
Sarah Weinman
'Bridget Jones' is meant to be a funny night out, but with emotional truth. I wanted to make it a classic that you can pick up in 10 years and not cringe over.
Sharon Maguire
Every girl wants to play Bridget Jones.
Sheridan Smith
I have been waiting a long time to see what's next for Bridget Jones, and I am beyond thrilled she's back.
