1 " And set-ups never work for me. It’s not the same without that moment, that chemistry. That split second when your eyes meet and your heart stops and they transform from a stranger into someone, right in front of you. That moment is everything. "
― Lindsey Kelk , On a Night Like This
2 " Once upon a time, I'd enjoyed the challenge of an interview - it was to act against someone, only you hadn't seen the script and you had to guess all the right lines. "
3 " A lot of brilliant women have been crushed by not-bad men.' I didn't reply for a minute. Instead, I thought back over all the times I'd given something up, turned down an invitation, cancelled plans, all to make Stew's life easier. And not just Stew's, I'd done it for everyone. Whether it was deciding what to have for dinner or turning down the opportunity to work in another country, I'd set myself up time and time again thinking an easy life would make me happier. But it hadn't. What did Fran want? Who did Fran want to be? I had no idea, I hadn't even let myself consider the question. "
4 " It took every ounce of self-restraint in my body not to say 'right away'. This time, I wanted to do everything right. This was a job, not my reason for existing. I would set boundaries, I would respect my own needs, I would prove to myself that it was possible to be a brilliant assistant without being a complete martyr. "
5 " we didn't come this far to only come this far "
6 " Fran Cooper, dependable, reliable and one hundred percent guaranteed to make your life easier. That was my brand. As I watched Stew wander off down the street with a great big smile on his face, I realized the only person I ever made things difficult for, was myself. "
