It's naive to think we're the only living beings in this universe.
Declan Donnelly
Put your head down and work hard and you can achieve what you want. You can end up in Buckingham Palace.
We did a version of 'You Bet' called 'Wanna Bet' in the U.S. a couple of years ago. It was a good little show but the network put it on over the summer on Mondays so nobody watched it.
When we became TV presenters, I found a place for myself and Ant bought the house for sale two doors away.
When we met Susan Boyle she was a very unassuming lady. We didn't expect anything and we were probably a little dismissive of her.
I do like 'Question Time.'
We're incredibly lucky and I get to work with my best mate - I don't know why I'd ever want to stop doing that really.
You know you're getting older when the record executives start getting younger.
I was a bit nervous before I got married and Ant said to me: 'Honestly, it just gets better.' It's amazing and the best thing I ever did.
We've talked about a sitcom and a comedy drama. It's getting the right project and working with the right people.
We got sacked for the first time when we were just 18 and you realise that this whole industry is transient and changeable.
Nobody ever sets out to make a flop, but it's going to happen. You have to pick yourself up, dust yourself down and say: 'Right, we go again.'
We always had one eye on doing Saturday night TV even when we were back doing mornings. That's where we wanted to go to get a bigger audience.
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.
We did 'Friends Like These' on BBC and 'Slap Bang' on ITV which didn't work as well.
We need to start saying no to stuff.
No one looks forward to getting old do they?
Thank you to everyone who works with us on our shows for making us look like we know what we're doing.
There's been times when it has been tough professionally.
We don't get any hate mail.
I don't know if I get any mail. I think I just get bills.
We kind of owe everything to 'Byker Grove.' It's where we learnt to do what we do.
People would always try and set me up, which was awkward. You can't set me up on a blind date because she will automatically know more about me.
I love Leon and June and I love 'Gogglebox,' it's a brilliant show.
You can't not be star-struck by Mary Berry.
We come to Birmingham every January for the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions and always have a great time.
Brummies make great audiences.
We toured the world, all over Europe and to the Far East and Australia.
Celebrity will eat itself.
We honestly felt a bit more at home in the TV studio than we did in the recording studio.
We had one big album and we started working on the 'Ant and Dec Show' and we had a really good time.
As with many pop acts, your shelf life isn't that great, we peaked with our first album.
We sat down and talked about who we liked comedy-wise, TV-wise, what made us laugh and what we enjoyed doing. So a lot of our tastes went into 'The Ant and Dec Show.'
We know what it's like to audition as kids and how nerve-racking it is.
We were kids when we started.
You'd have to get my money out of my cold dead hand before I gambled it away.
I come from a family of seven, so growing up I always thought I'd like a big family.
The thing that I miss more than anything is doing Saturday morning telly. It was the best, best, best three years.
No one tells you how hard being a parent is! We could have had a warning! It is literally the hardest thing I've ever done but I'm loving it.
I'll worry about something and get stressed whereas Ant is usually a bit more chilled about things.
We're more pub and football guys rather than walking the red carpets.
I couldn't do 'I'm A Celeb' because I know too much.
I'd like to do 'Strictly' because you learn something.
There is always someone you are going to miss and for me it's my dad. I always hoped he would see me marry, but these things happen in life. I know he is proud of me.
One of the parts of 'BGT' we love doing the most is going around the country.
We should do 'Takeaway' from Chicago or Philadelphia. We'd have great fun with it.
Northern Ireland isn't actually part of Great Britain, but we still want it to be part of 'Sofa Watch.'
It's lovely when you get those awards because it reminds you that the audience are enjoying what you're doing so you keep working hard and never take anything for granted.
Running in heels can be treacherous, and don't get me started on fake eyelashes!
I always watch the Morecambe and Wise Christmas special.
