I don't like to be me. I'm not so comfortable being me on screen because then I'd be a presenter. I'm not Jimmy Fallon.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
I was a radio presenter in Dubai for five years.
Alex Hirschi
I didn't mean to be a TV presenter, I just hated modeling. It feels very odd that it's turned into this 'It-girl' thing. What does that even mean? I wear clothes and I go out. It's so weird.
Alexa Chung
Then the BBC approached me in 2005 and asked me to be one of the presenters of the series 'Coast', which turned into a very long-running series.
Alice Roberts
I was about 15 years old, and I needed a job, and somebody I know - I don't even know who it was - said that there was a television show that needed a presenter and that I should go and audition for it, so I did. That was a show called 'The Word,' and I got that job.
Amanda de Cadenet
People know more about my views than they do about most BBC presenters because I had a life before becoming a BBC presenter.
Andrew Neil
Some presenters can go their whole careers without even having one of the shows that we've got. It's better than working for a living, let's be honest!
Ant McPartlin
My goal is to be the best TV presenter, the best entertainer, the best singer. I still want to be the best dancer. I want to be the best at everything I do.
Anton du Beke
I had a short run as the presenter of 'Cash in the Attic'. It's a very popular show but didn't really suit me.
Ben Fogle
How you look has become ridiculously disproportionate to what you do. Critics are more harsh on female presenters.
Carol Vorderman
Television is where I'm most at home. I'm not one of those TV presenters who secretly yearns to be a Hollywood actress. Live telly is what I thrive on.
Caroline Flack
Ever since I was a presenter on CBBC and used to see the 'Strictly' judges walking around Television Centre, I have wanted to be on the show.
You don't reinvent something that had three amazing presenters without a few bumps along the way.
Chris Harris
On my gravestone, I want 'Here lies the singer,' not 'Here lies the T.V. presenter'.
Cilla Black
I never imagined I'd be a presenter on television, but I'm happy to put myself out of my comfort zone.
Darcey Bussell
If, like me, you've never watched 'Game of Thrones', the podcast 'Binge Mode: 'Game of Thrones'' ought to be unlistenable. It isn't, thanks to the energy of the two expert presenters Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion, who have the wit to laugh at their own deep-dive devotion and are helped out by some smart editing.
David Hepworth
One of my very greatest fears as a child was being ridiculed in public. And there it was coming true. As a television presenter, I'd been respected. People come up to you in the street and shake your hand and talk to you in a respectful way.
David Icke
When we used to watch some BBC kids' shows it felt like some of the presenters were parental figures, we wanted to be their cheeky uncles really, their fun uncles, and speak to them on their level.
Declan Donnelly
We were lucky that when we were making the transition from children's to prime time a lot of other presenters our age shied away from that arena.
It's funny. I don't really think of us as TV presenters. I think of TV presenters as responsible people who show children what to do with empty fairy liquid bottles. Not a couple of blokes who don't mind telling kids to shut up.
When we became TV presenters, I found a place for myself and Ant bought the house for sale two doors away.
Because when you watch U.S. television, all the presenters and reporters, they're all out of central casting.
I certainly think sometimes when it comes to sexism, some Sky presenters need to look at themselves.
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.
For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.
It doesn't annoy me but I think of myself as a presenter who is gay, rather than a gay presenter. It's a subtle distinction, but that's how I view it.
They're all good-looking men - I can't think of a male presenter who isn't a good-looking bloke - but, you know, they're not judged by their suits and ties.
I'm not a presenter - I'm a star.
I think that no one, or very few, are born as good presenters. It's a skill that you learn. The key is the 10/20/30 rule: 10 slides given in 20 minutes using no font smaller than 30 points. If people just adhered to this rule, they would double or triple the quality of their presentations.

People think you earn a fortune in TV, but that's not always the case, especially when you're working as a children's presenter.
There was no other training ground like kids' telly for becoming a TV presenter.
My friends were amazed that I became a TV presenter. I was not a big talker at school - I never liked people seeing my braces, so I walked around with my sleeves pulled over my hands and my hands over my mouth in case anybody saw me smiling.
I'm a television presenter, television is my first love.
What I love in television is when you have the banter between the presenters, that's what makes a really good programme. That's why it is so important for me to have good relationships with people I'm commentating with.
I've never wanted to be on television for the sake of it, I suppose because I'm not one of life's natural presenters; I'm not an actor.
I'm only a freelance TV presenter and, in many ways, it's all just been a massive fluke.
I'm happy to be content-maker as well as curator, so I'm happy to also be a presenter for amazing things.
The problem is that television executives have got it into their heads that if one presenter on a show is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed heterosexual boy, the other must be a black Muslim lesbian.
The problem is that television executives have got it into their heads that if one presenter on a show is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed heterosexual boy, the other must be a either black gay or a lesbian. Chalk and cheese, they reckon, works.
My mother, Jeanne, was a TV and radio presenter in Jamaica. Bob Marley used to appear on her shows all the time and so she knew him quite well.
You watch award shows, and not only are you not nominated, but you're not a presenter and haven't been invited to any of the parties.
Of course, I could try IVF. But having watched my friend TV presenter Clare Nasir go through it, I know how tough the journey is. Emotional fool I may be, but even I can see that's too selfish a course of action to impose on my family.
As a presenter on 'Daybreak,' I am lucky in that we have a brilliant wardrobe lady who chooses our on-screen clothes.
At 24 I was a wannabe. I was not a 'former TV presenter' as everybody says - I was a young girl living on a wish, appearing on the roulette channel at 1 am and selling cordless kettles on Channel 953.
I'd done performance art sporadically from about 1976 - very personal street things on my own. Acting seemed like a natural step from that. But I didn't really want to 'be' anything: presenter, comic, actor. I just wanted to perform.
I've never considered myself a presenter or never really had the desire to do that, but in the U.S., what that entails is completely different to what it is on a panel show. A panel show is just a lot more fun.
You're an example as a kids' presenter, so there is a responsibility there. But they got lucky with me - I'm not into heavy nights out.
And then I saw this article in 'Time Out' magazine for TV presenters, so I went along with my sisters and we did this audition. It was open auditions, it was just a fun day out, but there were maybe 600 people there or something. It was just crazy.
My parents are very proud that I was a 'Blue Peter' presenter and of me going to Cambridge to do economics.
