Driving any car at that speed in anything other than an expensive German luxury car on a long, straight autobahn is enough of a risk (let alone the risk of hitting anything) – but if you try that with a Beetle and add a light crosswind, factor in some rubber peeling off your tire, and you’ll more than likely find yourself dancing alone in a dark corner without any music.”

You're fucking jealous.' You should have seen his face as he stormed off. I laughed me bollocks off.”

I have learned to forgive, not for them, but for my own peace, because holding on only hurts me more.”

“Now I don't care what people think. I did some internet campaign where I was the voice of a puppet for Ford Focus ads because they were paying me a lot of money to do it, it was a very easy gig, but then the bonus was, it turned out to be an enormous amount of fun.

An explosion of life followed by death - in this we live, and in this we foreshadow our own sweet deaths.”
