Famous quotes by Jools Oliver:

"We bicker all the time - a lot of my friends can't believe how much. He drives me mad because he never listens to me and I drive him mad because I can be horribly selfish. In five minutes we're laughing again."
"People pick up on some bits of the book in particular, like the bit about Jamie's sperm,"
"I know, I know, I probably do need a press manager, ... Jamie was like, JOOLS! But it was just, I was having this girly chat with the journalist and we were getting on so well, it just popped out."
"Oh, it was fine, ... I did check, you know - as I wrote it, I would ask him, do you mind if I say this and that. If he laughed, I knew I was all right. I could have been much funnier if I'd been more explicit about some of it, but I'm not a bloody comedian, after all."
"[Poppy and Daisy, meanwhile, can look forward to further immortalisation in a sequel to the book, which, feminist objections notwithstanding, has been on the top 10 bestseller list for several months.] I'd really like to do another one, from ages one to three, but after that there comes a time where you have to say, 'That's enough', ... We don't put them in adverts or anything, and I think when they go to school that will be that."

Jealous Lover

by: ABC

To all of those who had their doubts
Now those doubts... I forgive 'em
To everyone who's led one life
Then love life... its humble rhythm
To all of those who harbour dreams
All you get... is what you're given
Meanwhile the maximum... maximum goes down
Right from the start
I knew you'd break my heart
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Rope tied and bound
I been lost and found
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Jealous of my loving
Jealous of my leaving... jealous
Jealous of my living
Jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover... there's no other
If all they say and do were true
Just like you... I'd be with 'em
But lies survive... remains forbidden
For every single point of view
Then there's two... that must be hidden
Meantime the maximum... maximum goes down
Right from the start
I knew you'd break my heart
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Rope tied and bound
I been lost and found
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Jealous of my loving
Jealous of my leaving... jealous
Jealous of my living
Jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover... there's no other
Meantime - the maximum... maximum
Nothing more and nothing less
Grip tight - the maximum... the maximum
You say no... I say yes
Don't be... don't be... don't be...
