• As Romeo is dying Juliet says ‘I am willing to die to remain by your side’ and love was never a static place of rest but the last second of euphoria while throwing yourself out from a 20 store window to be able to say ‘I flew before I hit the ground’, and it was glorious. Don’t be sorry. The fall was beautiful, dear. The crash was beautiful.

• It’s awful, telling it like this, isn’t it? As though we didn’t know the ending. As though it could have another ending. It’s like watching Romeo drink poison. Every time you see it you get fooled into thinking his girlfriend might wake up and stop him. Every single time you see it you want to shout, 'You stupid ass, just wait a minute,' and she’ll open her eyes! 'Oi, you, you twat, open your eyes, wake up! Don’t die this time!' But they always do.
