More quotes by Jenny Downham
She'll understand what I already know - that death surrounds us all. And it tastes like metal between your teeth.
Jenny Downham
Moments. All gathering towards this one.
Jenny Downham
As an actor I worked for seven years with a community theater company based in London. We used improvisation techniques to take stories to young people who wouldn't normally have access to them - in prisons, hospitals, young offender's units, youth clubs and housing estates.

Every few years we disappear, Zoey. All our cells are replaced by others. Not a single bit of me is the same as when I was last in this room.
Jenny Downham
And now he's down this for me. He's made me famous. He's put my name on the world.
Jenny Downham
I lean back on the pillows and look at the corners of the room. When I was a kid, I always wanted to live on the ceiling - it looked so clean and uncluttered, like the top of a cake.
Jenny Downham
I'm here. Soon I won't be. Zoey's baby is here. Its pulse tick-ticking. Soon it won't be. And when Zoey comes out of that room, having signed on the dotted line, she'll be different. She'll understand what I already know- that death surrounds us all. And it tastes like metal between you teeth.
Jenny Downham
It's a shame i can't be there myself - i like parties. Text me if you think of any good hymns!
Jenny Downham
I didn't understand that when you make love, you actually do MAKE love. Stir things. Affect each other. The breath that escapes from me is dazzled. He breathes it in with a gasp.
Jenny Downham
Was this love? Because it hurt. It was like a bit of glass stuck somewhere important--his heart or his head, and it was throbbing.
Jenny Downham
I can see inside planes!' he yells. 'Come and look!' It's difficult climbing in a mini dress...I haul myself up even though my arms ache. I want to see inside planes too. I want to watch the wind and catch birds in my fist.
Jenny Downham
Her skin tasted expensive.
Jenny Downham
I'm me and you're you, and all of them out there are them. And we're all so different and equally unimportant.
Jenny Downham
When I first saw Ellie, I knew it was her-- she was my fantasy. I didn't want it to be true, but every time I met her it was obvious, and the funny thing was that she was better than the fantasy, like I got more stuff than I'd imagined.
Jenny Downham
. . . my bones they'll burn or bury. It'll be my death.
Jenny Downham
Parents don't know their children at all. No one knows anyone, in fact.
Jenny Downham
I want to die in my own way. It's my illness, my death, my choice. This is what saying yes means.
Jenny Downham
You changed the rules of the universe when you fell in love with the enemy.
Jenny Downham
Every seven years our bodies change, every cell. Every seven years, we disappear.
Jenny Downham
It's as if a child with a brush and too much enthusiasm has been set free with a tin of black paint inside me.
Jenny Downham
