I think that no one, or very few, are born as good presenters. It's a skill that you learn.

I am a news presenter, a news broadcaster, an anchorman, a managing editor - not a commentator or analyst.

I'm happy to be content-maker as well as curator, so I'm happy to also be a presenter for amazing things.

I work to please my audience.

Oh, I so don't care about the podium at the Oscars. I've stood at the podium at the Oscars and that's close enough. To be a presenter is as close as I need to be.

I couldn't care less about being a presenter at the Oscars.

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.

On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.

I always wanted to be a 'Blue Peter' presenter when I grew up!
