mother jobs home
When I was about 17, I had a row with my mother and left home for six months, renting a flat and working as a waitress for a while. I learnt you could double your earnings if you gave good, cheerful service. It taught me that in any job you can improve your lot.
taken home risk
I've always taken risks and bought property well. As journalism wasn't particularly well paid, buying homes and selling them for profit improved my income.
running simple want
I never wanted to run a production company. I didn't want to convert my life into running a business.... so I always resisted it and kept things simple.
decision shy best-business
My best business decision is always to have been unembarrassed about negotiating a decent deal. Not being coy or shy about money is second nature to me.
third-time thirds
I'm not going to marry a third time. It is just not necessary.

In 2001 Steve Staunton became the record cap holder for which country? Brazil.
thinking special important
I've had a lot of dates, but I don't think there's been anyone that special or important.
rainbow trying together
I like to look put together without trying too hard. I don't want to look as if God's made another rainbow - I prefer muted, autumnal colours, like most fading redheads.
sexy giving looks
In an ideal world, I'd be able to do my shows in my pajamas. Luckily I've got one of the best stylists in the business, Rebecca Allen - she knows what looks good on camera and gives it a sexy kick.
daughter running drinking
In her memoir, Anne Robinson recounts the wake-up call which motivated her to stop drinking. Leaving her eight-year-old daughter alone in their car while she went to buy liquor, she returned to find her daughter with tears running down her cheeks. The guilt and horror Ms. Robinson felt at this sight jolted her into sobriety.
self-improvement improvement should
I don't despise, because no-one should live rent-free inside your head.
attitude character thinking
I do think your attitude towards money is an inherent part of your character.

The Welsh... I mean, what are they for?
teacher rivals kicking
Teachers are the worst. Just shameless about kicking off their rivals.
