- Isla’s favourite book in the Shopaholic series (as of 2008), is ‘Shopaholic & Baby’.

- Isla says that whilst working with Patricia Field on this movie it made her more adventurous and brave with her wardrobe. But she sooned slipped back into comfy mode after filming!

•

- Isla Fisher: “The first fitting was twelve hours long and I lost the will to live at about two hours. We were having conversations about belts that went for 45 minutes… about a belt. I was starting to sweat, I couldn’t handle it at all. As I got used to the process, it was really an education.”

- Isla Fisher: “It’s all about the character and the screenplay. You get everything to tell a good story. I do love the character. Becky Bloomwood is such a unique, fresh, interesting young girl. I think it’s empowerment for women.”

- Isla Fisher: “Imagine how disappointed I would’ve been as a fan of the books if an actress didn’t capture the essence of Rebecca Bloomwood.”

- Isla Fisher: “I have read all the shopaholic books and love them all – I loved that they tap into the collective consumer conscience.”

- Isla Fisher: “Absolutely not. Because Rebecca Bloomwood has fantastic style and I can pretty much guarantee that Bruno has awful style.” – on whether she and Sacha argue about whether Bruno or Rebecca have the best style.

- Isla Fisher: “He came to my house; and actually he wanted to come round every single day and I couldn’t have that. So I got it down to three times a week, but he was all about lifestyle. There was a list of things I couldn’t eat – it was so long, there was nothing left that I could eat! It was awful.” – on the trainer that producer Jerry Bruckheimer hired for her.

- Isla Fisher: “I had to lead this double life where I was pretending I was being really good, when secretly I had cakes stuffed in my anorak pockets and I had to shove them into my mouth when he was turned the other way. One time, I’d eaten already french fries and a hamburger and had a really awful day. I confessed that I’d eaten one bread roll – I lied about everything else – and he almost cried. He was like ‘we have 8 weeks to go, 8 weeks!’ And I thought, oh no, imagine if he had any idea what I was actually getting up to behind his back. He was very good and he had all these stretchy ropes, and he made me do all these exercises. But you know, I was breast-feeding (and I still am) and I think that’s what keeps the weight off.” – on the trainer that producer Jerry Bruckheimer hired for her.

- Isla Fisher: “If Shopaholic is a hit, then it was Isla Fisher in the movie, and if it doesn’t work out, it was Amy Adams.” – joking about being mistaken for Amy Adams

- Kristin Scott Thomas: “I just – I really like Isla Fisher. And I just liked the screenplay. It was really funny. It made me laugh. And it was a few days.” – on why she wanted to do this movie

- Patricia Field: “It is colourful, glamorous and sexy with great accessories, bags, scarves and belts. The style is young and fresh, younger than “Sex and the City” or “The Devil Wears Prada”.

- Patricia Field: “Rebecca is put together as though she is in designer clothes all the time, even if she isn’t wearing designer clothes. She tends to wear sexy, short dresses and skirts without being too overt, and coordinates her outfit with a bright-coloured coat.”

- Patricia Field: “She was extremely positive and energised. Everything Isla does in the film is put together with a fashion consciousness. It’s my job to get under the skin of the actors and really understand them in order to dress them. Isla came up with wonderful ideas and her own concerns and really contributed to the look.”

- Leslie Bibb: “I play Isla Fisher’s nemesis so I get to be a lovely little villain with her. Love Isla. It’s a great cast.”
