When I first started on 'Dragons' Den,' I was under pressure to buy flashy cars and boats but I resisted.
Then, there was Greenpeace, I remember that when they first started out with the boats in the waters, and the guys in the boats between the whales and the boats that will hunting the whales with spear guns.
Having been a fan of 'Dragons' Den' since it first aired in 2005 I was absolutely delighted and proud to have the opportunity of becoming a Dragon myself.
My worst buy has always been cars and boats. I used to own two Ferraris, but as much as they're beautiful, they're a waste of money.
As I started to buy cars, I didn't know that I was building a collection. I just wanted the cars I was dreaming about. Once you drive a good one, it is like having a fever.
My biggest television weakness is 'Dragons' Den.'
'Dragons' Den' and 'The Apprentice' have opened people's eyes to what they can do.
Dragons' Den' is about as close to real business as you can get on television.
Librarianship is a form of heroism. It’s just not as flashy as swords and dragons.
How do you fall into a lion's den, that is my first question there, you think you would be extra carefull around a den of lions.
If someone comes onto 'Dragons' Den' and annoys me, I'm going to tell them exactly what I think.
What the entrepreneur gets on 'Dragons' Den' is direct access to people with masses of experience who can actually make quick decisions.
If I'm filming 'Dragons' Den', we work flat out until 8pm, although I love seeing the weird, wonderful and plain delusional.
I'm not really a flashy guy anywhere else - I don't dress flashy or anything else - but I like to keep my cars nice, and I like to customize them. I can do things a little flashier and a little faster, and with a little bit more thought. This is kind of the release part of basketball.
If people have got an amazing opportunity such as on 'Dragons' Den' and they mess it up by being lazy with their presentation it does make me a bit cross.
The reality in business and in 'Dragons' Den' is you win some, and you lose some.
I started this job in 1995, and I felt the same pressure in my first day, with my first team, Reggiana, in the Second Division, as I feel now. Nothing has changed, but what changes are the number of games, especially for top teams. For this reason, the work has pressure. But only this.
