On depression, he spoke about how one does not know how it really feels until one has to deal with it.
“I always think with anything, unless you've actually been there you don't know what it was like. I didn't know what it was like to have depression until I got it,” he said.
Terrence also spoke about the way he helped a 90-year-old woman with dementia whom he met through his activity with Age UK Oldham.
