There are angels by the way. They don’t have wings and live in clouds. They wear nurse’s uniforms and work hard to pay the rent on their houses. Some work for charities because they can’t look the other way. Some have four legs and bark. But whatever they look like, they all save lives.[to Tony]
Life is like a ride at the fair. Exciting, scary, fast. And you can only go round once. You have the best time till you can’t take any more. Then it slows down, and you see someone else waiting to get on. They need your seat.[to Kath]
Live your life as if there’s no tomorrow, and then you wake up and there is a tomorrow and you do it again.
It doesn’t matter what you look like. It’s what’s on the inside that matters.
It’s okay to have feelings, you know. Things that aren’t logical. Science makes us understand how to stay alive longer. Feelings give us the reason to want to.
It’s all about hope. You’re allowed to miss Lisa and grieve and feel angry. But I can’t bear the thought of you having no hope. That’s the saddest thing in the world to me. Giving in.[to Tony]
There are no bad dogs, just bad owners. If you treat a dog bad and show them no love, that’s what they act like. If you show them kindness and hope, they’re fine. It’s the same with people.
My postman is proper depressed at the moment. He’s feeling very low about his life. And I thought if he spoke to someone with a genuinely awful existence, it might make him feel better about his own situation.[to Brian]
Watch now on:
Just be yourself. Tell the truth. Always tell the truth.[to Kath]
I’m not angry anymore. I don’t want to punish the world. I’ve had my life, and now there’s nothing more to add. And it annoys me that people think I can have that again with someone else. Like I can replace Lisa. I can’t. And I’m cool with that because it makes my time with her even more beautiful, even more precious.
I wanna be a good person. But sometimes, I just can’t be bothered. It’s too hard. We talk a good talk, but when it comes to it, we sort of run and hide from real sacrifice.[to Lenny]
I thought not caring was a superpower. I was wrong. Caring about stuff, that’s what really matters. Kindness. Making other people feel good. That’s the real superpower. And we’ve all got it.[to Matt]
