"I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me." "Women who marry early are often overly enamored of the kind of man who looks great in wedding pictures and passes the maid of honor his telephone number."

All the comics from my childhood, who were funny without swearing, were the people that influenced me. What I do is quite traditional anyway."― Tim Vine
