Call me sentimental, but there's no-one in the world that I'd like to see get dysentery more than you
David NichollsI'm trying to be inspiring! I'm trying to lift your grubby soul for the great adventure that lies ahead of you!
David NichollsWhat must that be like? To be admired before youโve even said a word, to be desired two or three hundred times a day by people who have absolutely no idea what youโre like?
David NichollsI think what it is is, if you're in school and you're not that bright or good-looking or popular or whatever, and one day you say something and someone laughs, well, you sort of grab onto it, don't you? You think, well I run funny and I've got this stupid big face and big thighs and no-one fancies me, but at least I can make people laugh. And it's such a nice feeling, making someone laugh, that maybe you get a bit reliant on it. Like, if you;re not funny then you're not...anything
