I always say I'm more of a food writer than a TV presenter, because that's what I'm trained in, that's what I spend most of my year doing. TV is about performance and I've never had any training.

Rachel Khoo

I would like to have a go at TV. I think, especially when you have kids, that you spend a lot of time watching telly, and you think, 'How come I'm not doing that?'

Nick Hornby

You're a good presenter if you know your subject and you can communicate it with passion. Period. That's all that matters on telly.

Bettany Hughes

I'd worked in TV for a number of years before Strictly,' doing kids' telly and a couple of Saturday-night shows, but nothing on that scale.

Tess Daly

For me, I had just come from kids telly, 'Dancing on Ice' was the first grown-up telly I had ever done.

Since becoming a BBC breakfast presenter I have been paid four-figure sums for doing hour-long speeches for associations and at awards dinners. That has been an eye-opener. I am surprised by how much people are willing to pay TV celebrities to do that kind of stuff.

Steph McGovern

I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn't. Hey, it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account; you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.

Dee Dee Myers

Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.

Mariel Hemingway

I like kids but I also like the option to close the door. Becoming a parent is a whole other life, and it doesn't stop.

Jon Hamm

I'd happily describe myself as a TV presenter now.

Rachel Riley

We have a society where every hit maker and TV presenter is gay.

Elton John

As a TV presenter I've found it's important to always have great looking feet.

Laura Whitmore

Yes I'm a TV presenter and a mum and a wife and all those things, but as much as I love a duvet day with my family, I also like rockclimbing and getting dressed up for a glamorous evening now and then.

Emma Willis

Films like 'Bond' fund training schemes for film technicians of the future, and working on films themselves provides a great training ground for budding directors and cinematographers. If there's no money there for films to be made, it's like a house of cards, it all comes tumbling down.

Callum McDougall

I've been working on my ground skills. Putting in there upwards of 3 to 6 hours a day dedicated to training. And of course part of it is groundwork, and being that I am a striker, ground work for me is more for positioning and striking on the ground.
