When I was 16 I got a school holiday job at Minton's pottery factory in Staffordshire, packing plates. For a month's work, I was paid £44. Everything I now know about the birds and the bees, I learnt there.

More quotes by Anthea Turner
I had started working in television but it did not pay that much. I was 27, renting this little one-bed flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London, with a bathroom so small only someone of my size could actually get in it.

There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.
Anthea Turner
The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.
Anthea Turner
A lot of people live in a property that will one day be part of their pension, and that is true for me too. I have an investment I can sell with ease.
Anthea Turner
Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness.
Anthea Turner
One wise decision I made was buying a plot of land with planning permission in Richmond, and building my own five-bedroom home on it. I sold three years after I completed the building and more than doubled my money. I like Richmond and always have my eyes open for other properties in the area.

I do not think we should tax people to a point where they are looking for tax loopholes and getting their money out of the country.

I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.

I have worked and earned all my life and have found that divorce is an expensive process. Whichever way you look at it, you are going to halve your wealth. If you can avoid it, do. It is an awful process.
Anthea Turner
If you are a housewife, take pride in that.
Anthea Turner
Often, there is a job - say, for a voiceover or an appearance - and you think: 'Blimey!' From the outside it would seem like you are being paid a lot for a short amount of your time. It would be inappropriate to share how much they pay, but in the industry we call it 'doing a bank raid'. Unfortunately, those jobs do not happen every week.
Anthea Turner
It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.
Anthea Turner
Those who earn money know best how to spend it.
Anthea Turner
Divorce is the biggest drain, outside of school fees, and nobody wins. People think it is always in the woman's favour, but it is not necessarily.
Anthea Turner
I am now at the age where I can withdraw a 25 per cent tax-free lump sum. I do not put in a set amount because my earnings are a moveable feast.
Anthea Turner
People who earn reasonable amounts are being turned into the anti-Christ. I think 45 per cent tax is a colossal amount to take off somebody, and it is taking away the incentive to earn.
Anthea Turner
The late 1990s were good to me. I was doing the Lottery, GMTV and I had a good contract with ITV. But I was working so hard, I never had time to celebrate. I never thought I was lucky.
Anthea Turner
Why do we consider that just because people have more money, they do not deserve it? It is totally wrong. They deserve everything they have earned.
Anthea Turner
Of course, we all have to be taxed, but once you start to earn more than £150,000, and start paying 45 per cent tax, you are penalised. It is like a witch hunt.
Anthea Turner
Whether it's cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you've always got to think of where to store them.
