- Will Anderson: Advertising is the world's biggest entertainment industry - there's more spent on it than Hollywood films - and it has not been looked at critically. The only time you ever see it talked about on TV is when Dermott Brereton presents a (best-of clip-show) about them.
- Wil Anderson: In fact, if I was a superhero I think I would be Procrastinator Man: 'What's that? Someone's in trouble? Okay, I'll be there... as soon as I make myself a cup of tea, read the papers, have another cuppa, sharpen some pencils, feed the cat, organise my CDs into alphabetical order, check my email, type my name into Google, and finally have just one more cup of tea'.
- Wil Anderson: With the way I've treated my body when I meet my maker I expect him to take one long look and tell me I'm not getting my bond back. But I do hope when I die, my hand-me-downs might help someone else live. Or at the very least I hope my friends stuff me and use me to drive in the transit lane.

- Wil: (from his book "Survival of the Dumbest") Did you know that in the last ten years, 31 Australians have died from watering the Christmas tree while the lights were still plugged in? And at least a couple of those were watering plastic trees. Now I don't want to seem callous, but to me that's not a tragedy - that's natural selection.
- Wil: (after the axing of his show, “The Glasshouse”) I now need work. When my phone rings, I think, ‘Please be Celebrity Survivor 2!’ Or maybe I could be the black Wiggle - the one telling kids what life’s really like.
- Wil: (on the axing of his show, “The Glasshouse”) Basically, I’ve been doing the sensible thing and making plans about what I’m going to steal from the ABC. I’ve got my eye on Kerry o’Brien’s green pen or one of the Bananas in Pyjamas.
