Jonathan Dimbleby Quotes

My two great treats in life are baked beans and vanilla ice-cream Picture Quote #1

I adore Madonna. She reinvents herself like no one else Picture Quote #1

Travelling to make television programmes means I have some unusual food memories. In Pasto, Colombia, I was taken to a restaurant where I chose my meat for the evening from a cage of white rats. It tasted perfectly good - like rabbit Picture Quote #1

As it is, the grotesque distortions of the global market mean that for every dollar the West dispatches to Africa in the form of aid, two dollars are clawed back through subsidies and tariff barriers: a monumental rip-off by the rich as they instruct the poor to accept ‘free’ trade or else Picture Quote #1

Presidents and prime ministers, whether they live in the rich or the poor world, are insulated and isolated from the devastating impact of global poverty. They read the statistics, but they rarely witness at first hand the misery and degradation of life on a dollar a day Picture Quote #1

Food is about communal togetherness. Our family does sit at the table. I think it’s a great tragedy if a family doesn’t have a table, as there is such an atmosphere of good will and warmth when we have eight people sitting around it Picture Quote #1

As a young man, causes of one kind or another engaged me, and I thought the media is where you express yourself in that. I lived with the illusion, for quite a long time, that if you described something accurately, something would be done about it Picture Quote #1

I was born with a silver microphone in my mouth, and that was an advantage. My father wrote books and was also a great broadcaster Picture Quote #1

It’s absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I’m not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night Picture Quote #1

My only real claim to fame is that I was southern England show-jumping champion in 1966. The day after my father died, ‘Horse and Hound’ magazine tipped me as a future Olympic champion, and I took it seriously. You can only really enjoy something if you take it seriously Picture Quote #1

It is easy enough to hold an opinion, but rather more testing to act on it Picture Quote #1

Ever more people are alert to the challenge of global poverty and global warming. We know that solutions are at hand. We will not sleepwalk into catastrophe. We have the capacity to forsee and forestall, and I believe we will find the will to act Picture Quote #1

The challenge is the culture. You have to have a vision for the BBC-it can’t merely be that it’s big and has a place in the market Picture Quote #1

The BBC has the obligation to think big. And at the moment, that clarion call sounds an uncertain note to me Picture Quote #1

Over the last two years, I have been able to comb through The Prince’s archives. I have been free to read his journals, diaries and many thousands of the letters Picture Quote #1

I hate flying. My stomach churns at the mere thought of it Picture Quote #1

You have to be damn certain you’re putting something better in its place Picture Quote #1

That test should not be about ratings. What should weigh is the knowledge that a public broadcaster delivers programmes that matter Picture Quote #1

I fail to understand how you can justify a poll tax on the entire population, yet exclude a significant proportion of that population from programmes that this tax is paying for Picture Quote #1

It’s absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I’m not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night Picture Quote #1

I ought to rejoice in the fact that our principal rival has died, but I don’t Picture Quote #1
