“BBC TV gets hold of an idea and beats it to death until we're all hear...” — Terry Wogan Quote

“BBC TV gets hold of an idea and beats it to death until we're all heartily sick of it. They buy people without thinking what they're going to do with them. It's the wrong way around. What they should be doing is employing really good ideas people to come up with good ideas.”

“The BBC knew I was successful from early on, but they weren't sure why, and they still aren't sure. What I do has been unconventional from the beginning, so they've never been sure. It just works. It just does.”

“I will never do 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' There are certain things you'll do that you have some control over, but you should do things that leave your fate in the hands of others, too.”

“But thoughts the slave of life, and life, Time’s fool,”

“Courage, man; the hurt cannot be much.”

“Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty... mine's putting in an express lane.”
