Broadcasting is really too important to be left to the broadcasters.

So you get kind of addicted to a revenue stream, and then all of a sudden it goes away, now the problem is worse than it was before.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

We have to take risks in British television. It has to stop playing to the lowest common denominator and patronising people.

I'm not promoting anything totally unhealthy because I'm not unhealthy. But I am promoting an ideal that's not attainable, and for that I have to feel guilty. I have to assume some blame for that.

Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.

Boredom is rage spread thin.

I don't think it's in any way harmful, this marriage of media and politicians. I think it enhances the communications process considerably and makes it possible for the public to be far more aware, far more up-to-date on issues and the opposite sides of the issues.

The whole brunt of the media and the government is to encourage people to be highly competitive and totally selfish and uncaring of others.
