CAT DEELEY

Listen, I would love to win an Emmy at some stage or another. I can't pretend not to.

I don't feel any pressure to lose weight - and in any case, if I didn't have my food I'd be a nasty piece of work and wouldn't be able to function.

Success is hard in general for most women. We now have such busy lives, and we're told we can do everything - you know, we can have the relationship and the marriage and the kids and the career.

I don't even own my own name on the internet - somebody else bought it.

I don't host a show and go, 'Have you got my best angle?'

I'm a great swimmer, probably due to the size of my feet.

Jewellery is a great way to take your look from day to night.

Nothing gets you to mend your heart quicker than throwing yourself into work.

I'm in an on-off relationship at the moment.

My friend made me a leather dress for the MTV awards. It gives you confidence, wearing something you love.

In Britain, it's almost as if we're ashamed of having ambition and drive.

Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.

I'll never stop appreciating how lucky I am.

You've got to have a sense of humour about sex. When you look at it, it's all pretty ridiculous, isn't it?

I think that if you keep your eyes and your ears open and you are receptive to learning, there are skills you can get from any job at all.

I can't dance at all by myself.

Everybody has a bad hair day, but us girls still like to be told we look nice even if we don't feel like we do.

I hate birthdays. I hate birthday parties. I hate them. I don't know what it is, anybody's only got to come wafting near me with a piece of cake with a candle on and I break out in hives.

You are so much better off on your own than with the wrong person.

I understand how important hair is to a woman's self-esteem and confidence.

Never work with kids or animals.

I am addicted to 'Vogue' magazines, be they French, British - I adore, adore, adore.

If I'm interviewing someone I need to know everything about them - I do these massive spider diagrams. Everything under different categories, and certain questions in other categories.

There are fit men everywhere, so I'm working my way through them, one at a time!

I hate last-minute shopping, it's always unsuccessful.
