“I do worry about breaking things - things that don't belong to me.” — James May

Despite some of the stories that have gone around, I've never had a big, flouncey strop about how much I'm paid. Considering I have a pretty interesting life out of making telly, I'm really paid quite well for it. So I'm not complaining.

When it comes to watches, it's ironic that you can spend thousands on an exquisitely made mechanical watch, and yet it will be less accurate than a five-quid digital bought from a petrol station.

Watching people move to nice music is very pleasant.

When I get into a car - any car - I still find it amazing that I'm allowed to drive it away.
