Terry Wogan Quotes

I was born an optimist, as I always say. If I wake up in the morning with a pain in my chest, I’ll always assume it’s indigestion. It will probably be the end of me! But it’s true - that’s the kind of person I am Picture Quote #1

I say to my children, the reason that marriage - and having children - is so important is that it stops you thinking about yourself. The way to happiness is to give yourself to others and to think of others before you think of yourself Picture Quote #1

My life has been a happy accident. Anybody who succeeds in anything should count their lucky stars, because that’s the biggest element. It’s not hard work; it’s not necessarily talent Picture Quote #1

BBC TV gets hold of an idea and beats it to death until we’re all heartily sick of it. They buy people without thinking what they’re going to do with them. It’s the wrong way around. What they should be doing is employing really good ideas people to come up with good ideas Picture Quote #1

I get a lot of letters from people saying, ‘How do I get into radio, how do I get into telly?’ and I wish there was an answer, because there’s no ladder. There are no parameters. You’ve just got to go in wherever you can, make the tea, and slowly make your way up the ladder Picture Quote #1

I don’t do a lot when I’m in Gascony. I swim and play the odd game of golf, but mainly I sit around. We’re set an hour-and-a-half from the Pyrenees and an hour-and-a-half from the Bay of Biscay, so we get plenty of storms. But we’re surrounded by vines and sunflowers - it’s lovely Picture Quote #1

Just as the England football manager starts with bells and flags and balloons and ends up reviled, so do prime ministers. Tony Blair - is there anyone more despised now? Gordon Brown - all right, nobody voted for him but, you know... just think of any of them. Margaret Thatcher. John Major. Steve McLaren. Fabio Capello Picture Quote #1

I’m never going to write a book like Anthony Sher did, you know, ‘The Broadcaster Prepares.’ I’m only talking to myself. I’d have liked to be a writer, or a journalist, but if things don’t come easy to me I don’t do them. I think if you’re always thinking how difficult something is, you shouldn’t be doing it Picture Quote #1

I’ve never wanted to drive a car fast for the sake of it. I mean, I like nice cars. I’ve got the Bentley, I’ve had a Lotus, I’ve had a Rolls-Royce and a few Jaguars, including an E-type. But I’m not somebody for driving tremendously fast Picture Quote #1

You have to be aware of your own shortcomings. The main thing I try not to do is lose my temper. Doing live interviews on television, you learn not to say the first thing that comes into your head Picture Quote #1

Places like India can give you a real culture shock because of the poverty you see, and it brings you up sharply Picture Quote #1

I will never do ‘I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!’ There are certain things you’ll do that you have some control over, but you should do things that leave your fate in the hands of others, too Picture Quote #1

I’ve never stayed in a tent or a caravan in my life, and I never joined the Boy Scouts. I don’t see the point of going on holiday to enjoy less comfort than I have at home Picture Quote #1

Go out and face the world secure in the knowledge that everybody else thinks they are better looking than they are as well Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing to be said for being famous. It’s a pain. You can’t be rude to people - it’s inexcusable not to be nice. Anyway, it’s not in my nature. I was trained to be nice Picture Quote #1

It’s only a matter of time before it all starts to fall apart, before things start to fall off. Short legs, long body. The kind of person who in the Middle Ages would come up over the hill on his horse, and they’d say, ‘Get Wogan,’ and I’d be there with my shield, the first to die Picture Quote #1

A couple of years before he died, I kissed my father goodbye. He said, ‘Son, you haven’t kissed me since you were a little boy.’ It went straight to my heart, and I kissed him whenever I saw him after that, and my sons and I always kiss whenever we meet Picture Quote #1

We’ll watch ‘Britain’s Got Talent,’ ‘X Factor,’ ‘Come Dine with Me’ and ‘Masterchef.’ But we don’t watch ‘Big Brother,’ which is rubbish. I certainly won’t be tuning into the new series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ either. I think it’s awful, exploitative and vulgar Picture Quote #1

The high spot of my day has always been getting home to have my dinner with my family. It still is: to have my dinner with Helen. It’s a cocktail and dinner. I know I’m a tired old geezer, but there you are Picture Quote #1

Don’t start drinking before the fifth song Picture Quote #1

Sadly, I can’t avoid being 75. Like many people of my age, we are all heading towards the grim reaper, and I am clinging on. I just to have to sharpen my fingernails a little so that I can hang on for longer! Picture Quote #1
