Jessica’s Quotes

“If what makes you happy makes me very sad then I have to put me first.”

“For learning how to say no. NAILED. Tip: think of how uncomfortable it is to say no and compare it to how fucked off you’ll be when the yes appears in your diary. Another tip: you don’t always have to give reasons. Just look a bit sad at having to say no – then say no.”
― Sarah Millican, How to be Champion: My Autobiography

“But I suppose that is anxiety for you. It doesn’t make an awful lot of sense. It’s often not what does happen that causes my heart rate to quicken but what might happen.”
― Sarah Millican, How to be Champion: My Autobiography
