Helen Fielding:
"I’m completely overjoyed to win the pig. It’s the third time I’ve been nominated and I’ve been hoping for this moment for years,” the writer said. “I’m like one of those people who keeps nearly winning an Oscar and then having their hopes smashed to the ground. But at last the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse pig is mine."

Paul Murray:
“I first read PG Wodehouse as a boy and have kept returning to him ever since, longer than any other writer – which makes this award very special"

Alexander McCall Smith:
“I like pigs - I used to have a small pig farm, 20 pigs, until we realised it was a good way of losing money. I’m very pro-pig. I very much enjoyed writing that book and if there are those who are enjoying reading it, then I am content. I am also content with the jeroboam of champagne, the 52 Wodehouse novels, and the pig that goes with this award. That is what I would call a very well balanced prize.”

Edward St Aubyn:
"The only thing I was sure of when I was writing this satire on literary prizes was that it wouldn't win any prizes. I was wrong. I had overlooked the one prize with a sense of humour."

Howard Jacobson:
“This is the only literary prize that actively seeks out and rewards comedy. Other prizes often view it as sort of embarrassing writerly malfunction – which is treacherous, in my view, when you consider the comic origins of the novel and the strong comedic traditions of English writing in particular.”

Terry Pratchett:
“I feel flabbergasted, absolutely tickety-boo and ready to go down to the Drones Club for a drink, obviously. I found PG Wodehouse when I was thirteen. I read everything of his that I could get my hands on and because of him actually considered one day taking up golf. It was a close run thing. Very many thanks to those who inexplicably decided on giving me this award.”

"Accidents happen, but we're delighted Will Self has won." Этими словами пресс-аташе фестиваля прокомментировала казус, случившийся с оглашением номинантов 2008 года. По ошибке в брошюре-программке фестиваля при объявлении шорт-листа один из претендентов был заранее указан как "победитель". Это был именно Уилл Селф, который позже на Hay Festival действительно получил награду, правда не в полной мере. Во время проведения фестиваля в Уэльсе было ограничено передвижение скота из-за вспышки заболевания блутанга, поэтому традиционный приз — свинья глостерширской породы — был продемонстрирован в видеозаписи.

Paul Torday:
“I am delighted, honoured and very surprised to have won this prize. I couldn’t be more pleased that my first novel has had this recognition from the judges.”

On winning the prize, Christopher Brookmyre, who is from Glasgow, quipped:
"My favourite PG Wodehouse quote is, 'It is seldom difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman and a ray of sunshine' - today I'd like to think that I resemble the ray of sunshine."
