I do love to cry. I'll cry at the drop of a hat. I'll cry…

“I do love to cry. I'll cry at the drop of a hat. I'll cry at your basic television programme, let alone a weepie. But not big, heavy, serious crying. I haven't done that for a while, which is a relief. More like a little welling up of joy.” quote by Miranda Hart
