“How are you meant to know when you're a kid for the rest of your life? You choose your subjects for your exams when you're SO young without realising that this exam results could shape the rest of your whole future. It's bonkers.”

“You never really grow up. It's a trick; everybody is wandering around just as lost as a person ahead and the person behind. We are all winging it. You are always waiting for somebody to tell you if you're doing it right but you never know.”

“Eating is a story of your life, so when people say food is a comfort, they are right in a way; it's always there with you. It's always a friend. Your favourite foods travel with you your whole life, taste everything you do. Even if you're crying over a plate, the plate is still there. Full of hope.”

“You don't really actually have a choice, it's like you can't get work, so you go into education to then be whacked with a load of debt you can't pay and nobody will even give you a job while you're at college or uni because, errrr... MAYBE you're AT COLLEGE and when you're not there, you're studying or, let's face it, you're getting drunk. It's a trap. Then ONCE you get your qualifications all the jobs are taken or have been cut and then you're just there, trying to get the same job you applied for all those years back, when you were sixteen, just this time you're way too overqualified and broke. Unless you're parents are loaded or you come up with some amazing idea and become a millionaire, or win the lottery... you're screwed. A millionaire isn't even a millionaire any more. You know how long a million pounds lasts in London these days? Zilcho nilcho.”

“Maybe you don't even need a man to come in stomping around and being all there. Maybe I could love a woman? Maybe I'll end up with a woman. We are humans. Men and women. You don't know who you're going to fall in love with; we fall in love with a person. Not a sex. And looking around, it seems women are just pretty cool anyway.”

“Not that it matters an awful amount in the grand play of things. And it is play. All of it. It's not real. You have to live your life like you're pretending. An actor living a character's life. Otherwise you won't take risks. You won't live.”
