The closed mind is a disease. You need to have an open mind; otherwise life will just pass you by.Collection: Optimistic
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit.Collection: Mistake
Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact.Collection: Opportunity
Probably some of the best things that have ever happened to you in life, happened because you said yes to something. Otherwise things just sort of stay the same.Collection: Life Happens
I think if you've got a good idea it will stand out in one of the different mediums. For example, something might happen to me today and it could be something to talk about tomorrow on the radio, or I can write about it, or perhaps it will be best suited to telly.Collection: Writing
Wagamama. Text messaging aficionados might like to note that this is one of the most satisfying words you can possibly type.Collection: Text Messaging
The only time you have no opportunities is when you decide to stop taking them.Collection: Opportunity
If I was going to act irresponsibly, the least I could do was be responsible for it.Collection: Responsible
Take the stupidest thing you've ever done. At least it's done. It's over. It's gone. We can all learn from our mistakes and heal and move on. But it's harder to learn or heal or move on from something that hasn't happened; something we don't know and is therefore indefinable; something which could very easily have been the best thing in our lives, if only we'd taken the plunge, if only we'd held our breath and stood up and done it, if only we'd said yes.Collection: Regret
And as I looked at the star, I realised what millions of other people have realised when looking at stars. We're tiny. We don't matter. We're here for a second and then gone the next. We're a sneeze in the life of the universe.Collection: Stars

The people around you are you. They share your history. They can even write it with you. And when you lose one, there's no doubt you lose some of yourself, however they're lost.Collection: Writing
What a terrible thing, I thought, to let a moment go.Collection: Moments
The sad thing is, I was discovering that you almost have to make a joke of being good to strangers. Up and down the country, these people doing their good deeds were doubtless being seen as slightly eccentric, when in reality and in an ideal world they should be deemed the most normal people of all.Collection: Karma
As a kid, so many films made me want to travel... the New York of 'Ghostbusters', the Shanghai that 'Indiana Jones' swung a few punches in. However, if I had to name one film that inspires travel, it would have to be 'E.T.' - especially if I could do it by flying BMX as he did...!Collection: New York
I will say yes to every favor, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once I would say no.Collection: Suggestions
I was saying yes because when you're in love, the world is full of possibilities, and when you're in love, you want to take every single one of them.Collection: Love You
