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.

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

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...!

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 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.

But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to.

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

The closed mind is a disease. You need to have an open mind otherwise life will just pass you by.
