More quotes by David Nicholls
He wanted to live life in such a way that if a photograph were taken at random, it would be a cool photograph.

Salmon. Salmon, salmon, salmon, salmon. I eat so much salmon at these weddings, twice a year I get this urge to swim upstream.
David Nicholls
As a novelist, I'm incredibly lucky to make a living, but that doesn't mean that I don't lie awake at four o'clock in the morning, worrying.
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
[He] didn’t like to think of himself as vain, but there were definitely times when he wished there was someone on hand to take his photograph.
David Nicholls
I suppose the important thing is to make some sort of difference.
David Nicholls
He has found himself more and more reliant on her at exactly the point that she has become less available to him.
David Nicholls
Dont run before you can walk
David Nicholls
Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you
David Nicholls
She drinks pints of coffee and writes little observations and ideas for stories with her best fountain pen on the linen-white pages of expensive notebooks. Sometimes, when it's going badly, she wonders if what she believes to be a love of the written word is really just a fetish for stationery.
David Nicholls
To have had fame, even very minor fame, and to have lost it, got older and maybe put on a little weight is a kind of living death.
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
When I was an actor, I worked with lots of men who had a bit of success early on, who were very good looking, who suddenly made a bit of money and who felt no embarrassment - and nor should they have done - about having a good time.
