Victoria Wood Quotations

I have stayed true to that first idea that people can have a day in their lives that is very important and if they can reconnect with that day, reconnect with the people they were then, they can suddenly revive their emotions.

In my 20s I was going round seeing agents who were patronising because I was fat and a girl, which was a double whammy. I knew what it was to feel out-of-the-loop.

Music enriches people's lives in the same way paintings and literature do. Everybody deserves that.

My mother, she didn't believe in praise. She'd never say anything was great. I think that's quite Northern, to not make people feel too good. I didn't mind if she was proud of me or not, it didn't bother me. I was never trying to please her.

I sometimes think that being widowed is God's way of telling you to come off the Pill.

Everyone I meet is gay, married or crackers

Sexual harassment at work... is it a problem for the self-employed?

People always think I hate doing interviews. I don't. I wouldn't do them if I didn't like them.

I used to make my own food and ate on my own in my room.

Acting is not my favourite thing. I don't like wearing costumes and wigs.
