There are comics who treat women fairly appallingly. But I can be great friends with them because I don't tend to do that ticking of boxes: it can make life too simplistic. ↗

The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever. ↗

I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking. ↗

I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what's wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened. ↗
