Noel Edmonds

“I don't care if someone calls me names.”

“Maybe I was always more than one person, or even two. Maybe being on TV was just my job. People find it hard to get their heads around that. A couple of times I have shone a light on the other sides of my life, but I have learned to be cautious about that. Because people are only comfortable with the Noel Edmonds they see on television.”

“As an only child to be there when your parents say goodbye, that's tough.”

“I haven't got a problem with sheeple calling me crazy. What's sane? What is crazy?”

“I used to be very frightened of failure.”

“Everything is about energy. We're surrounded by electro mist, fog and smog. We're covering ourselves in the wrong sorts of electro-magnetism. These idiot politicians who talk about climate change, for goodness sake, do they really think little us can do anything about it? No, of course not.”

“Life without hope is no life.”

“Reality shows have caused fatigue amongst the public.”

“When I worked for the BBC, what I was paid to do 'House Party' was all over the tabloid press, there was no privacy there.”

“HBOS had robbed me of my marriage, my family, my businesses, my longstanding friend and business partner, my income, my investments, my self-respect, my reputation, my privacy, my physical and mental health. It cost me my security, my image rights, my collection of classic cars - and very nearly my life.”

“If I'm demanding and have high standards, I'm happy about that.”

“Judging by the number of things I get asked to do I don't think the public are sick of me.”

“I'm very good at compartmentalising my life. I did motor-racing for a while, stopped, didn't miss it. I did power-boat racing for a while, stopped, didn't miss it. I had such a good run at the BBC. I had a hell of a CV with arguably the greatest broadcasting organisation in the world. But I've never missed it since.”

“We must never forget that the cosmos exists solely to help those who want to help themselves. It is an incredibly powerful force and a wonderful friend for all who adopt a positive approach to life.”

“I've driven a Formula One car, flown a helicopter, flown with the Red Arrows, met kings and queens, been to the White House.”

“I didn't find Saturday night television difficult.”

“It's amazing how a simple brief phone call can pick up the spirits of the most dejected hamster, the most stressed goldfish and the most neurotic cat.”

“Belief and trust in the power of the Cosmos gives even the most chaotic life a new sense of order and purpose.”

“You cannot die. My energy will return to where it came from, part of a massive, incomprehensible universal web of energy.”

“I quite often carry a little card with me and I write things on the card - things that I'm grateful for and things that I would like to positively happen around today.”
