- Back in 1985, I was working as a kissogram in Manchester. I had six jobs to do on the evening of Live Aid (1985) and I couldn't wait to get back into the car - a mark three green Triumph Spitfire - to listen to the unfolding events on the radio. In fact, I almost missed one of my appointments because I was waiting for Madonna to come on!
- [on narrating Sir Jimmy Savile: As It Happened (2011)] It is very very good. And very much an antidote to some of the less kind things that have been suggested about this famous and much loved son of Leeds. He really was a one off, both the first and last face to be seen on Top of the Pops (1964) - forty years apart.
- [on who he'd marry if he was gay] If I was going to have babies with him it'd be Robert Downey Jr., for companionship it would be Jools Holland I think.
- You've got to love every aspect of Tony Blackburn, haven't you?
- [on Spandau Ballet] One of the bands who defined the '80s.
- [on Spandau Ballet] The melting pot was vast.
- [on "True" by Spandau Ballet] A bit of everything in it, coming from everywhere.
- [on "Single Ladies" by Beyoncé] I love this song. Love a bit of Beyonce, a bit of Destiny's Child.
