- His presence in the video for "Modern Love" by David Bowie, singing backing vocals in a straw hat and striped blazer, has never been confirmed.
- He was the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). He had previously been a Conservative Party member and ardent Thatcherite, but left the party when John Major signed the Maastrict Treaty in 1992, which created the European Union. He is not the founder of UKIP, as has been reported: actual founder Alan Sked has been extremely critical of the direction the party has taken under Farage.
- He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1987 but made a full recovery.
- He survived a plane crash in 2010, with minor injuries. His sternum and ribs were broken and his lung punctured.
- He has been lampooned by comedians including Mark Steel and Russell Brand. Brand called him "a Pound Shop Enoch Powell".
- I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.
- We seek an amicable divorce from the European Union and its replacement with a genuine free-trade agreement, which is what my parents' generation thought we'd signed up for in the first place.
- I have been called a great many things in my time - that's politics.
- When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been, I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore.
- Basically, Herman Van Rompuy wants the European Union to become a debt union, which may be acceptable to some of the southern countries who are effectively bust. To the northern countries, it is not.
