Holmes - Dave Dobbyn
Television (Excerpts) – 1998
He says he wasn't really an alkie, he'd just get to 9.30pm and abracadabra, he'd turned into a bore. So he stopped drinking. He's now addicted to sugar in his coffee — "don't look" he said as he dumped in about a tablespoon's worth — The New York Times cryptic crossword, reading the Bible for "Inspiration, comfort, ripping yarns".– Dave Dobbyn describes his relationship with alcohol, The NZ Herald, 17 December 2011
You made me sound like a victim before — I'm no victim, Paul. You've been through this yourself. I've won a lot of battles and that's just one of them, OK?– Dave Dobbyn reacts to Paul Holmes' introduction
