Quote by -Declan Donnelly
When times were good, we made more money. When times are bad, we make less money.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I learnt violin at school and hated it. I wish I'd learnt guitar or piano.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I think Ant and I were ambitious because of where we come from. Both of us are from working-class families on council estates in Newcastle.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
The first meaningful friendship moment we had was when Ant sent me a Fred Flintstone Christmas card and it said, 'To Dec from Ant, have a yabba dabba do Christmas.'
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I've definitely never said, 'Well, how about that, eh, I'm a national treasure.'
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I had my crisis at 30. I was actually really comfortable with 40. Life was in a better place.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
Saturday mornings, you've got three hours of live telly and it's really forgiving.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We have got offered some shows in America, but really dopey shows - like reality shows.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
Saturday Night Takeaway' is the show we always wanted to make. It's a direct descendant of 'Game For A Laugh' and 'Noel's House Party' and 'Russ Abbot's Madhouse,' and they're all shows we grew up on as kids.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I'm not sure how much Ant and I are insured against each other. I've heard it's a couple of million. However much it is, it would never be compensation for losing your best mate. I've never wanted to work alone since we started together. All the ideas we have are for the pair of us.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
It's funny. I don't really think of us as TV presenters. I think of TV presenters as responsible people who show children what to do with empty fairy liquid bottles. Not a couple of blokes who don't mind telling kids to shut up.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We were lucky that when we were making the transition from children's to prime time a lot of other presenters our age shied away from that arena.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We knew we were making records for a certain demographic. We didn't look outside of that.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I was an average student. Not a dunce. Used to play for the school football team.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
When you're younger you feel more invincible - that nothing is ever going to get you down or beat you. When you get a bit older, you realise the fragility of things, how easy it is to get caught out by things - and Ant did.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We always said our career was built on our friendship and that our friendship was the secret of our success. The career just happened by accident.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We want to bring the kids, the parents, the grandparents and grandkids together, we want them to have a shared viewing experience. We want the kids to talk about it in the playground, dad to talk about it down the pub, grandma to talk about it while she's out shopping.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I love a bathroom and fluffy bathrobe. Bear Grylls and camping... that's not me!
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I might be a natural show-off but being your best mate's best man is a different kettle of fish.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We treated it as another acting job. Some of these other bands had been put together, and it was their dream come true to be in a band, and that wasn't really the case for us. It was the next part of what we were doing.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I think obviously there is some kind of life form somewhere else. Whether it looks like the creature in 'Alien Autopsy,' I'm not sure.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We saw the band as an acting job - it was an extension of 'Byker Grove.' We were even still called PJ and Duncan.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
We were pushing the boundaries a bit of Saturday morning telly and trying new things.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
Ant and Dec seemed a natural name for us - it was just how people referred to us, cos we were always together. I've never resented the fact that his name comes first.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
When people are so nice about you, you get emotional and cry. But we never take it for granted.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
Ours is a career built on a friendship, not a friendship built on a career.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
When we were first doing kids' shows with the BBC they asked us where we wanted to be in a few years' time and we said we want to be where Noel Edmonds is.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I think working as part of a brotherhood shows you can achieve personal satisfaction in a team.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I think you learn every day. You can't buy experiences; all these experiences shape you.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I grew up being called Eamonn-Martin-Dermott-Declan because I was the youngest of the boys and Mum would go through all their names first before she got to mine.
Quote by -Declan Donnelly
I'm not sure I'm confident in the viewing public seeing every side of me and I'm not sure I'm confident enough that I'd allow myself to be that exposed.
