Quotes
[edit]Quotes are reported in chronological order
- Everyone who sells you a complete kit on the meaning of life is cheating you. I calmly ignore those who advocate incontrovertible truths. Standing on an exclamation mark is easy. I'm on the question mark: it's more basculating.
- From the interview of Giancarlo Perna, Paolo Bonolis: "Sono il farfallone della tv", ilgiornale.it, 28 October 2009.

- From the interview Caro Paolo, Ciao Darwin si può dire trash senza fargli male, tvblog.it, 19 April 2010
- Interviewer: Has TV, a certain kind of TV, corrupted the country?'Bonolis: Yes. The difference is when there is a lack of irony, when I don't say that I am showing a circus and mocking our everyday life. This applies more to information than to variety shows. It is very dangerous when information disguises itself as entertainment.
- From the interview Bonolis: certa tv ha contribuito a corrompere il nostro Paese, Corriere.it, 17 December 2010.
- Today it is very difficult to fly, we began to live with difficulty when we started to ask ourselves not what is right or wrong, but what is convenient. Reasoning by expediency has brought out the Italian soul, which is neither Hector nor Achilles, but Ulysses: expediency is being cunning, looking for the Trojan Horse, wanting to be smarter than others.
- From the interview Bonolis: certa tv ha contribuito a corrompere il nostro Paese, Corriere.it, 17 December 2010.

- Ciao Darwin shows the prodromes of the apocalypse. We don't show monsters, that humanity exists: it is the neighbour.
- As quoted in Silvia Fumarola, Bonolis no limits: "Altro che tv trash, questa è l'apocalisse", Repubblica.it, 18 April 2016
- Ciao Darwin is not vulgar: it is grotesque and there is a subtle difference. Many did not understand it, others did not want to understand it. The exaggeration of tone, the exhibitionism, are grotesque condemnations to which humanity is subjected. Trying to exorcise it, we show the reality: this is the world, even if we do not want to see it. A laugh will bury us.
- As quoted in Silvia Fumarola, Bonolis no limits: "Altro che tv trash, questa è l'apocalisse", Repubblica.it, 18 April 2016
- [On homogenitoriality] Sometimes I ask myself questions too. Here we are talking about love towards children, who have a right to love. That can come from a man and a woman, of course, but I ask myself: why can't that love come from two men or two women and instead be given by seven nuns? This is a question I ask myself. Why not? Why not?

- [On homogenitoriality]... with respect to love, affective availability belongs equally to different behavioural genders. What does it matter whether it is two men with a child, or a man and a woman, or two women? I do not know who is able to decide how it is right to love.

- Ciao Darwin also tells trash, but it does so consciously and using humour. Whereas there are many programmes that are convinced they are telling something else but are actually trash.

- Renzi is a very polite, decent and intelligent person. The fact that he is so controversial? Doing things inevitably creates problems. Renzi would have wanted to do right by the many but the few who would lose out convinced the many that it would be a problem for them too. That said, there are other good politicians in Italy. Generally they are the ones who have a more difficult life.
