“Fauvism is what you get if you take Post-Impressionism and put it on Expressionist steroids through a technicolour lens. And that sentence is what you get when you've dabbled in enough wank to get by but not enough to participate elegantly.”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette

“Around the time I'd gotten my invitation to the reunion, Smithton had been in the news because of a murder investigation. Two men had been slain in their home and those responsible had been at large for quite some time before being brought in and charged.

As brutal as it all was, I followed this story with half a mind of amusement simply because it all took place in a town called Penguin. Once I'd read the headline Penguin police on lookout for murder weapon it stopped being a terrible crime in my head and just became a fantastic episode of "CSI: Antarctica".”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette

“I wish I were deadpan. It's a very effective comic device. It's like the better-natured and kinder-hearted cousin of sarcasm.”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette

“A start is not the same as a beginning.”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette

“The myths around ASD and ADHD have wasted enough of my life, so I don't really want to waste any more of my time thinking about them, much less writing them down. These diagnoses have given me a pathway to understanding myself and for the first time in my life, I am able to like who I am.

If that's not enough for you, if you want me to convince you that I am autistic or prove that ADHD exists, then you can just go fuck yourself.”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette
