“For a long time, I used to think that I had a man's brain that I thought more like a man than a woman. But now I've come to realise that whatever it is I do think like, it's not like men; because men don't really think like men, they think like boys.”
David Baddiel, Whatever Love Means
tags: boys, men

“That's the thing about your destiny how are you supposed to know when it arrives? How are you supposed to recognise it from random life?”
David Baddiel, Whatever Love Means

“We live in a culture now where impact is more important than intent; where how things are taken is more significant than how they are meant.”
David Baddiel, Jews Don't Count
