Teachers're always using that in your own words. I hate that. Authors knit their sentences tight. It's their job. Why make us unpick them, just to put it back together more shonkily? How're you s'posed to say Kapellmeister if you can't say Kapellmeister?
David Mitchell

David Mitchell
Faith, the least exclusive club on Earth, has the craftiest doorman.
David Mitchell
Ive never had cocaine. I work in showbusiness and no one has ever offered me cocaine. Can you believe that? It makes me worry Im not always the life and soul of the party that I feel like in my head.
David Mitchell
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core.
