Lee Tulloch Quotes

1. When I say I have nothing to wear, I mean that I have nothing to wear that is exactly the thing to wear in those exact circumstances. (Fabulous Nobodies)
2. My feeling has always been, if you want to do something, work out what it is, and then just do it. There is no reason not to do it, and you’ll regret it if you don’t. And sometimes it seems foolish in some ways. Years later I think, oh, maybe we should have done something else. But of course, we shouldn’t. (Guardian)
