The BBC can be infuriating at times but I love it with a passion.

I wish I hadn't lost it, and for the rest of my life I can never again lose my temper on TV. The BBC could have sacked me and that would have been the end of my career on TV.

That our affections kill us not, nor dye.

I love to work. I have a passion for what I do.

Passion is momentary; love is enduring.

I wanted us to have an adventure. Because I love that crap. Because I'm not whatever-her-name-is. I don't think it's oh so hard to walk four miles in the snow. I want that. I love that.
