Zitat des Tages von Clare Balding:
I've had so many things, good and bad, said about me. I'm way beyond worrying about what people say.
The most important quality in a partner is a sense of humour.
I've never been particularly maternal.
I want to make the world a better place, for women, mainly.
People like to think of you as a certain person, or a certain type of person, and they do love to give you a label. We like luggage labels, and we like people labels.
Not everyone has to have children. If everyone had two or three, we'd run out of room.
Very rarely will you listen to the radio in a judgmental way, the way you'll watch telly.
It had become boring to write: 'I like Clare Balding'. To say: 'I don't like Clare Balding' is much more newsworthy.
I cannot be a placard waver for every campaign; that's why I have mostly kept quiet about gay marriage.
I get a lot of abuse on Twitter. It's mostly homophobic, but what can you do? I just either ignore it or laugh.
I felt like a misfit at school, and I think that's quite common.
I know sport can change the world, and that matters to me.
I don't make decisions for money or popularity. I do things because they're right for me, and they're interesting and challenging.
Swimming and athletics are the big gigs at the Olympic games. Cycling and rowing are pretty big for Britain, but globally, the two big things are athletics and swimming.
Sports commentating is the answer for a restless brain like mine. I can never get bored because there is an infinite amount to know.
Sport develops your brain. It helps your learning. It's not an add-on at the end of the day.
You come across words all the time that are everyday sexism. I was described as 'competently bossy' and 'bossily competent' by a male journalist, and I thought, 'Gosh, 'bossy' is never used of a man.'
I have never understood the clamour for waif-like women whose flesh acts merely as a thin veil for their bones - much as I would love to be thinner, I would hate to take it so far that I had no actual shape at all.
I didn't just grow up with horses; I wanted to be one.
