Nick Hornby Quote

So you weren’t interested in the music at all? Well, yes. A bit. And more so then than I am now. That’s life, though, isn’t it? But you see…That’s all there is of me. There isn’t anything else. If you’ve lost interest in that, you’ve lost interest in everything. What’s the point of us? You really believe that? Yes. Look at me. Look at the flat. What else has it got, apart from records and CDs and tapes? And do you like it that way? I shrug. Not really. That’s the point of us. You have potential. I’m here to bring it out. Potential as what? As a human being. You have all the basic ingredients. You’re really very likable, when you put your mind to it. You make people laugh, when you can be bothered, and you’re kind, and when you decide you like someone then that person feels as though she’s the center of the whole world, and that’s a very sexy feeling. It’s just that most of the time you can’t be bothered.
