Scott Speedman Quotes

You can't live in your own secluded world. If you're not on the Tube, on the bus doing normal things, how can you relate to people?

As a child, I heard many warnings from teachers about the perils of talking with strangers. Yet now, fairly late in my life, I can think of not many things better than to talk with strangers. The idea of being a stranger is also very appealing.

I think people are isolated because of the nature of human consciousness, and they like it when they feel the connection between themselves and someone else.

I just want to have a normal life, like everyone else, you know?

Man has been adjudged a social animal.
