Work hard at . . . something.
David Nicholls

David Nicholls
No, friends were like clothes: fine while they lasted but eventually they wore thin or you grew out of them.
David Nicholls
I still find it absurdly difficult to concentrate on a novel if there's a phone or computer to hand I have taken to locking them outside the room like noisy pets.
David Nicholls
David Holdaway was my stage name. I was an actor for about eight years in the '90s. I had to change my name because there was another David Nicholls, and I thought if I changed it to my mother's name, she'd be touched.
David Nicholls
These days grief seems like walking on a frozen river most of the time he feels safe enough, but there is always that danger that he will plunge through.
David Nicholls
What must that be like? To be admired before you’ve even said a word, to be desired two or three hundred times a day by people who have absolutely no idea what you’re like?
David Nicholls

David Nicholls
