James May speaks of many things, like politics:
For what it's worth, I've always believed that society should have as few rules as possible, rather than the thousands of new regulations this Government churns out every week. In May's Britain, there'd only be one law: don't be a prat. That actually covers everything. Not paying your tax is being a prat. Neglecting your kids is being a prat. Doing 100mph through a town centre is being a prat. As long as you're not a prat, you can do what you like.'
and Oz Clarke:
'If you whacked him with a cricket bat, he'd be saying something about the flavour of the wood as he went down.'
and Hammond:
He's fit and he's a very simple mechanism. It would be like trying to break a tin-opener. You can't really break a tin-opener.
and Jezza:
Jeremy's the least tough, of course. He's got the size, but it doesn't count for much. HMS Hood was a very big warship but it still blew up with one direct hit.'
and their future life together:
The discussion I have with Jeremy is that one day we'll have a pub. I'm quite interested in beer, Jeremy likes wine, we both like eating, so when we stop doing the show we're going to have a Top Gear Pub. Not as a branding exercise where you turn up occasionally like Gordon Ramsay - this would actually be us serving you, all the time: beer, wine, pies, fish-finger sandwiches. We'd live upstairs. But I'm 46, Jezza's a few years older than me, so we'd have to do it fairly soon I think.
It writes itself, it really does
