Billy Connolly
A lot of people are too easily offended. Religious people, for instance. They've been offending other people for centuries.

I think of my life as a series of moments and I've found that the great moments often don't have too much to them. They're not huge, complicated events they're just magical wee moments when somebody says 'I love you' or 'You're a really good at what you do' or simply 'You're a good person'.
