More quotes by Alastair Campbell
There is something in me that makes me see things through.
Alastair Campbell
I want to write more books, see my first novel made into a film, fight more campaigns, work in more countries. I want to be able to recall experiences that have endured for their pleasure and range and intensity.
Alastair Campbell
Paul Keating told us before we were elected that you can do deals with [Rupert] Murdoch without saying you were doing a deal. Did we do that kind of thing? Maybe. But from around about the turn of the century, I felt strongly that we had to do something about media ownership and self-regulation. Tony [Blair] disagreed.
Alastair Campbell
Friends have suggested that I am the least qualified person to talk about happiness, because I am often down, and sometimes profoundly depressed. But I think that's where my qualification comes from. Because to know happiness, it helps to know unhappiness.
Alastair Campbell
I will continue to help the political causes I believe in in any way I can.
Alastair Campbell
One in four of us will have a mental illness at some point. That is a lot of people.
Alastair Campbell
Failure, it is thought, is what sells, and what people want to hear and read about. I am not so sure.
Alastair Campbell
The royal family's existence is a constant reminder of the hollowness of John Major's rhetoric, and idiotic statements by its leading members a constant boost to the republican cause. They're fine opening hospitals. It's when they open their mouths they get into trouble.
Alastair Campbell
My public caricature - that of a self-confident alpha male - is only partly accurate.
Alastair Campbell
I have always been driven. I have always believed in what I believe very deeply.
Alastair Campbell
Tony [Blair] slowly sucked me back in for the 2005 campaign, and from six months out, I was basically working full time trying to keep the Tony[Blair] - Gordon[Brown] thing together for the campaign. It was awful.
Alastair Campbell
May I share with you my earliest memory of a political row? It was with my mother, about the Queen - classic Freudian stuff, shrinks would say. I was eight, and refusing to watch the Queen's Christmas Day broadcast.
Alastair Campbell
I feel like thanking Paul Dacre every time, because the reason they ask me is because they think I've come through the other end with a pretty good reputation. Loads of people get a bad press but have a good reputation. [David] Beckham - think what he went through. [Bill] Clinton, likewise. You just have to be true to yourself.
Alastair Campbell
To me, marriage is partly a religious thing and I'm not religious.
Alastair Campbell
Like most meaningful activities, campaigns are team games.
Alastair Campbell
Don't accept that you are in crisis just because everyone says you are.
Alastair Campbell
Sometimes Jonathan [Powell] and myself would go to Tony [Blair] and ask him if he was absolutely sure about this or that. That was our job. But ultimately it was his decision.
Alastair Campbell
The day of the daredevil reporter who refuses to see obstacles to getting the truth, and seeing it with his or her own eyes, seems to have died.
Alastair Campbell
In an ideal world, it would not take a film star to get the media focused on mental illness.
Alastair Campbell
Greg Dyke is on record as saying that once the BBC was attacked, it was their job to defend themselves. But that is not their job.
