Phoebe Waller-Bridge on what wasn’t allowed in Fleabag | British GQ

[@haro2830]

never compromise artistically UNLESS it’s killing the guinea pig

[@maddyd3182]

never

[@mariafernandacantelli2108]

I'm from Perú and is very common to eat guinea pig (I haven't because I think they're too cute). So I guess that would've been funny here.

[@justme-ji2il]

Well that was an order, not a compromise, and she said they were right. I think her point is that there is a correct way to service whatever art your making and you need to find the answer, not settle for whatever is in the middle of what you and the other persons are arguing about.

[@procrastinartist2825]

not the guinea pig!

[@elinannestad5320]

@@procrastinartist2825 what was her tiny addendum to that? I did not catch it, but there was one.

[@nunya257]

Not killing the guinea big was an excellent choice. It would’ve really marred an otherwise perfect viewing experience, and it would’ve lingered with me for a long time. In fact, I was on edge the first time I watch Fleabag, waiting for something to happen to her.

[@riverrojas2036]

I know right? And I don't know when was that established, but if it was in the first season that helped to have one of my favourite scenes: when the Priest met Hillary and one of the times he realises that she breaks the 4th wall

I find her compelling but think she's a tad overrated. Her show was unique but not a masterpiece by any stretch. Killing Eve is pretty awesome though. Well done on that.

[@user-tw2pu7ex9k]

no matter how shitty I feel, Phoebe always gives me the feeling, that we might have something in common, and this feeling somehow comforts me. she is sooo funny and infused w/ cheerfulness and positive and beauriful a-

[@RickDistance]

She is a mirror of a seventh-day-adventist woman. Alexandra is her name and her husband's mirror you can also see for 3 minutes, the guy who writes his thoughts on collegeblock. Sascha Schmitz. Was a soldier under Ursula von der Leyen when she was defend minister in Germany. He is also a seventh-day-adventist. Man, Hollywood portrays the children of God in such intelligent and loveable way either they're good or bad, haha.

@@inkstained8165 i hadn't heard that but was already onboard with Olivia Colman and the Doctor...! I really gotta start watching that show

[@aleksandrzherman-smythe6264]

What an awful format. Terrible questions with two, three word answers. You had a creative genius, headwriter of two international hits, and you thought the best thing to do was to barely let her speak, jeez. Why is there so little long-form content with PWB, it would have a high retention rate, people would love it. Nice one GQ.

[@rubywine9487]

While I sympathise with your point I suspect that PWB didn't have a lot of time to give GQ rather than the other way around. Her schedule must be insane.

No she isn't. Genius is something which is about more than one person, it's when somebody can bring many characters to life.

[@jgbgw591]

I have a hard time throwing the word "genius" around at anyone. Nothing personal 😂

[@ohwellwhateverr]

BLTKellys Which she has done. Don’t forget Killing Eve, and Fleabag is about more than just one person.

[@EMCAL13]

Why is the music so ominous?? She's one of the cheeriest, funniest, most bitingly brilliant women alive. ...And she's out of focus, while shot in MiLK STUDIOS. What happened GQ / MiLK??

[@jimd385]

Fleabag is an amazingly well written and performed show, Bridget Jones for this generation, I hope Phoebe continues to put out this kind of quality work for years to come.

[@diazrigau]

This actress is my new obsession, brilliant writer, sensitive, creasy in a good way and I think her acting is so real, so from the soul it captivate you. I had s hang on on the character that I bought the same navy blue coat she had thru the series...and I live in Miami. Probably will never wear, so hot here. Congratulations in your Emmy, you deserve it.

[@charlesvanderhoog7056]

I don't think you can get more English upper-class than this lady. One characteristic is being witty and speaking very fast with a clearly discernable upper-class accent. Another one is thinking from oneself as the center of things and knowing what is acceptable in carving out a personality for oneself and what is not. A very interesting study. In my country, we don't have people like that and I think that is a real pity. Daphne Deckers came close but that is about it; she did not dare to take it to the next level like Phoebe did.
