Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit.

Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact.

What a terrible thing, I thought, to let a moment go.

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.

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.

The only time you have no opportunities is when you decide to stop taking them.

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.
