Rosie Dunne Quotes

“Ruby: I’ve decided. I’m putting my Gary on a diet.
Rosie: You’re putting him on a diet? How on earth can you control what your twenty-one-year-old son eats?
Ruby: Oh it’s easy; I’ll just nail down everything to the floor.
Rosie: So what kind of diet is it?
Ruby: I don’t know. I bought a magazine, but there are so many stupid diets out there I don’t know which one to pick. Remember that ridiculous one that you and I did last year? The alphabet one where we had to eat foods beginning with a certain letter every day?
Rosie: Oh yeah! How long did we do that for?!
Ruby: Em . . . that would be 26 days of course Rosie
Rosie: Oh . . . right . . . of course. You put on weight on the third day.
Ruby: That’s because the third day was the lucky letter “C” . . . Cakes . . . mmmm
Rosie: Well we made up for it on the last day. I was bloody starving on “Z” day; I was practically chasing zebras with a kitchen knife around the zoo. Could have eaten the zoo I suppose . . .
Ruby: You should have done what I did, I ate like a queen. I became German for the day and ate “ze cakes” and “ze buns.” Oh I don’t know Rosie. I think I’ll just invent a diet of my own and give those stupid magazines a run for their money”

“Es curioso porque en la infancia crees que puedes ser cualquier cosa que quieras, ir a donde te venga en gana. No hay límites. Esperas lo inesperado, crees en la magia.
Luego te haces mayor y la inocencia se hace añicos. Las realidades de la vida se interponen en tu camino y caes en la cuenta de que no puedes ser todo lo que querías ser, que quizá tengas que conformarte con un poquito menos.
¿Por qué dejamos de creer en nosotros mismos? ¿Por qué permitimos que los hechos y las cifras acaben gobernando nuestras vidas en lugar de los sueños?
Pero ahora mi mente ha vuelto a cambiar. No hay nada imposible, Alex. Siempre lo he tenido a mi alcance. El problema es que no estiraba bastante el brazo, eso es todo.”
