"I'm a very touchy-feely sort of person. I would normally hug anybody."
- Rolf Harris on the main complainant's claim he gave her "creepy" hugs
"No, it didn't happen."
- Harris again when asked about the main complainant's allegation he first assaulted her in a hotel room in Hawaii when she was 13
"She seemed very, very flirtatious, coquettish, looking at me with some sort of sexual chemistry."
- Harris again on how the 10-year "affair" with his daughter's friend began in 1983 when she was 18
"It was all consensual. Everything that happened she had been a willing participant."
- Harris again on their sexual encounters
"I felt sickened by myself for being a part of it at all. I knew it was wrong. Here I was much older than her. A very young lady who was many years my junior."
- Harris again explaining why he wrote a letter to the main complainant's father in the mid-1990s apologising for his behaviour
"I don't think we need to go into the detail."
- Defence lawyer Sonia Woodley QC after Harris started describing in depth how Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport was recorded in 1960
"It has been brought to my attention that the defendant had been making the odd sketch whilst he was in the dock. I am satisfied it was innocent. They have since been confiscated and destroyed."
- Justice Nigel Sweeney
