Anne Robinson

“I have a reputation for being a battle-axe, but I'm not. I'm just a woman who's not afraid to say what she thinks.”

“I'm not interested in being popular. I'm interested in being effective.”

“I'm not a nice person. I'm a journalist.”

“I've always been a maverick. I'm not a team player.”

“I think that if you're going to be in the public eye, you have to have a thick skin.”

“I'm very good at being on my own. I'm a bit of a loner.”

“I don't like being told what to do. I never have.”

“Money is a great liberator. It doesn't solve all your problems, but it solves the ones you can afford to solve.”

“You are the weakest link. Goodbye.”

“What's the point of having a mind if you don't use it to make money?”

“I see myself as a guardian of the English language.”

“The only thing I'm frightened of is being bored.”

“You can't be a proper journalist without being a bit of a bully.”

“Vanity is a great motivator.”

“I don't do 'sorry'. It's a waste of time.”
