Famous quotes by Michael Buerk:

"[The couple divorced, the captain agreed to divorce his first wife, and then he and Betty remarried and moved to Canada.] I have two wedding certificates for my parents' marriage, ... They were married twice - by the same registrar in the same register office. The first says that my father is a widower; the second that he is divorced."

"Women make 80% of the buying decisions in this country. Even if they are not running the boardrooms, they at least dictate the business agenda. And the media, of course, is another thing."

"Oh yes - of course they set the agenda. Could you imagine a Clement Atlee becoming prime minister now? You have to see the way that politicians, in order to succeed, have to be emotionally available, as opposed to coldly rational,"

"I did say that women increasingly set the agenda in business, in politics, in the media, in society at large, that women's values are now considered superior to men's values."

"God, I'm going to have to grow a beard and hide,"

"Life is now being lived in accordance with women's rules."

"Women have confused equality with independence. Equality is a very good and desirable thing [compared with] independence, which is often rather notional and theoretical."

"It was a curious experience, ... I felt nothing, and I felt odd feeling nothing. Absolutely no emotion whatsoever. I found him slightly pathetic. He said: 'I have waited a long time for this moment.' I replied: 'Well, you might have sent me a postcard in the meantime.'"

"[Would you, I ask, be offended to be called a chauvinist?] Well, I wouldn't like it, ... I do help about the house too. I think so; Christine probably doesn't. And I always put down the lavatory seat."
