Quotes by Joanne Ryan  (?)

“I've never understood why some people are so obsessed with job status; it's a job, for God's sake, a way to earn a living, not an indication of who you are”
Joanne Ryan, Don't Let Her In

“People don’t bother to try and make small talk with you if you have a mask on, it’s too much effort and the very fact that you’re wearing a mask says don’t talk to me.”
Joanne Ryan, The Double

“Is the Gareth I knew for years the real him, or was he always a cheat and just hadn't done anything about it? Or maybe he'd cheated before and I never found out. How will I ever really know the truth”
Joanne Ryan, Don't Let Her In
