Pinocchio Quotes By Richard Ayoade

I don't know how to be myself. It's like I'm permanently outside myself. Like, like you could push your hands straight through me if you wanted to.

Not a real boy. And it kills me. — Richard Ayoade

Cloth, indeed! It shall be all made of gold and silver, and it shall have diamond buttons.
