What a meaningless cliché! If you ask me why men always make such fools of themselves, it’s because they’re in love with the ludicrous notion that there’s such a thing as to be in control!
[...]
I hate the idea of whingeing. I hate the idea of not taking your medicine and saying, ‘All right, I’ve had some bad luck. But that’s life.’
