Jeremy Clarkson citáty

Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson je britský hlásateľ, novinár a spisovateľ, ktorý sa špecializuje na motorizmus. Známy je hlavne vďaka účinkovaniu v televíznej show Top Gear na televízii BBC. Taktiež píše týždenné „stĺpčeky“ pre noviny The Sunday Times a The Sun.

Pôvodne miestny novinár v Severnom Anglicku, sa Clarkson stal známym až ako moderátor originálneho formátu Top Gear v roku 1988. Od polovice 90-tych rokov sa pravidelne objavoval v britskej televízii moderujúc svoju vlastnú show Clarkson, alebo sa objavoval ako hosť v iných. Začal produkovať programy a knihy, ktorých predmetom bola história inžinierstva.

Jeho charakter tvrdohlavého ale humorného rečníka, písanie a štýl moderovania, získal pozitívnu odozvu verejnosti. Nevyhol sa však ani škandálom a kritike; veľká časť publika ho však napriek tomu považovala za neoddeliteľnú časť Top Gearu, jednej z najúspešnejších show na BBC.

25.3.2015 oznámila BBC , že s ním už nepredĺži kontrakt na ďalšie obdobie. V polke roku 2015 Clarkson, Hammond, May a producent Andy Wilman založili produkčnú spoločnosť W. Chump & Sons, aby vyrobili šou The Grand Tour pre Amazon Video. Wikipedia

“Cars are some of the most intoxicating, most beautiful things ever forged by mankind.”

Voice-over introduction to Forza Motorsport 5 (2013)
Kontext: Cars. To some, they're just transport. A convenient alternative to highly-flammable dirigibles or walking. But you- you understand that cars are far more than this. They are our history. They mark the moments by which we define decades. Cars are some of the most intoxicating, most beautiful things ever forged by mankind. They represent the glory of technology, the essence of freedom, and have been the weapons in some of our most gripping sporting battles. They grip us, they cheer us on, they hold us up as heroes. So this is about the love of all things four-wheeled and fast. This is a shrine to power, to speed, to metal made beautiful. This is where dreams are driven. Welcome to Forza.

“It’s terrible. Biblically terrible. Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more.”
