Anne Robinson
The Welsh... I mean, what are they for?
Anne Robinson
Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.
Anne Robinson
I do have a rule that very few meetings are worth more than ten minutes.
Anne Robinson
I come from a family of traders my grandmother and my mother were very good at making money.

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.

Anne Robinson
I don't like the anonymity of the banking process - people now don't have a bank manager they ever meet.
Anne Robinson
In 2001 Steve Staunton became the record cap holder for which country? Brazil.
Anne Robinson
I'd make banks more accountable. I think they should separate totally the personal banking arm with whatever else they are playing around with.
Anne Robinson
Being rich and miserable has got to be better than poor and unhappy.
Anne Robinson
We mothers of grown-up daughters tend to view them with a mixture of love, exasperation, irritation and awe.
Anne Robinson
I don't despise, because no-one should live rent-free inside your head.
Anne Robinson
I adore clothes - they're my weakest link! My mother was the same, and she taught me always to look polished.
Anne Robinson
I think that in a family some are workers some are not. I certainly saw my mother work very hard and be in charge and never show any kind of fear about business deals. Her golden rule was you should never be embarrassed talking about money and asking for what you deserved. I take the same view.
Anne Robinson
I'm not going to marry a third time. It is just not necessary.
