Bill Bailey's quotes

  • I saw Motörhead in New York earlier this year and they were great - Lemmy's just so fantastically pissed off all the time.
  • In the West End you can banter with the audience because it's more intimate. There's not much chance of intimacy with 60,000 people but there's much more call and response.
  • [on Phil Collins's "Another Day in Paradise"] Sanctimonious little tosser.
  • You know that band, U2, right? They've basically got this one sound, haven't they? The Edge - yeah, right. Without these effects, they're nothing, right? This is all effects. Even a troll-like figure could recreate them.
  • [on Chris De Burgh] The monobrowed purveyor of ultimate filth.
  • [on Chris De Burgh] The monobrowed, nanny-shagging toss-monger who's inflicted his sentimental mewlings on a reluctant nation!
  • [on Peter Gabriel] He is perhaps the most ambitious, influential and innovative musical wizard on the planet.
  • Ed Miliband is like a plastic bag caught in a tree. No one knows how he got up there and no one can be bothered to get him down.
  • I was christened Bill Bailey by one of my teachers. My real name's Mark. It came from that wartime song, 'Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?' None of the kids knew what he was on about, but it stuck.
  • I feel really sorry for James Blunt. Because every morning, he has to wake up and think 'Oh my God, I'm James Blunt.'
  • My dad was a doctor and he taught me patience. It sounds like a terrible pun - but it's true. He has an immense ability to listen.
  • I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster.
  • The thing about Cannabis Campaigners is that they're all on Cannabis, so they're like: "Oh yeah, it's medicinal, there are so many uses for hemp. Oh, look! A Squirrel!"
  • And before you could say "Homoerotic Subtext"...
