| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Women are my religion. 90 per cent of men have always bored the derriere off me as people. |
| 2 | [on Doctor Who (2005)] I think they need to re-examine his surname - 'Who' is very oriental. It's about time they had an Asian actor as the Doctor. And a female one. |
| 3 | After I was in Z Cars (1962), the head of BBC serials took me aside and said, 'We're thinking of having a young Doctor Who (1963) and we'd like to cast you'. But it clashed with other things. |
| 4 | [on Doctor Who (1963) in 1995] Like all the kind of traditional programmes on the BBC from the past, it is timeless and I do hope it comes back. |
| 5 | [on William Shakespeare] The blue planet has had its author. It would be greedy to want another. |

| 18 | As a reference to his loud booming voice, York University voted in 2011 to name its newly-built study centre "Brian Blessed Centre for Quiet Study". |
| 19 | Because of his ever present beard and deep booming voice, he is often confused for actor John Rhys-Davies. |
