James Bolam's quotes
- I'm having some new track rods fitted on my car. I don't want to know anything about the man who's doing it. Why should he want to know about me?
- In this business, you do one job and then move on. You wipe everything else out - you have to. You can't live in the past.
- [on allegations he had blocked repeats of "Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads"] How could I do that? I can't stop repeats. A, I get paid for them, which is very nice, and B, there's no way I could do that even if I'd wanted to.
