As an army marches on its stomach, I vacation on mine. And for that reason, among others, I found myself in holiday heaven in Singapore.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
No matter how beautiful a spot I find myself in, if the food ain't up to much, I won't enjoy myself.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Within less than an hour of arriving in Singapore, it was clear we had arrived in a country where eating has been elevated to the status of a national pastime.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Muscat itself is a mixture of impersonal modern buildings, shopping malls, mosques, traditional souks, tarmac and sand.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I think having a healthy distrust of authority is a good thing, within certain parameters, obviously.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I backpacked around Thailand when I was a university student and have wanted to return ever since.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I've chosen not to go to Sky or ITV because the programmes I've made at the BBC, I want to carry on making.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
To me it's always been a no-brainer. Maybe I'm just simplistic about it, but if you believe in equality of opportunity, and want to champion equality of opportunity, that makes you a feminist.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Have I ever presented a programme I don't watch? Well, I've done loads of programmes that no one else watched!
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
The thing is, if you come on the 'Roadshow' we are not going to humiliate you. The thing about the 'Antiques Roadshow' is not to humiliate people.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I wasn't born into money, and you never know when that money's going to stop coming in.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I'm always disappointed by women who say they prefer working with men. What is that all about? I love working with women, I love the company of women.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I'm not tough. I'm just not a retiring violet when it comes to airing my opinions.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Question Time' had been on my fantasy bucket list for some time. Of all the jobs in broadcasting that's the job I knew I wanted to do.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I'm all about the story. And the stories I remember tend to be the ones of sorrow, or family history, or revelation of the self.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
If you take over a programme from a longstanding incumbent, not everyone's going to like it.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I'm all for a passionate debate, and sometimes things can be heated, which is fine, up to a point. As long as we remember that we are human beings.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I had done debate programmes before and quite often you go into them thinking: 'I might need to build some energy in the room.' 'On Question Time,' the reverse is true. A lot of the time, I am just trying to not have it turn into a slanging match.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
The best thing, on 'Question Time,' is when the reality confronts the rhetoric.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I still remember watching 'Antiques Roadshow' as a child with my parents, on a Sunday night, sitting in our 1970s living room.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Family is the priority. Your job never loves you back, that's the way I look at it.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Antiques Roadshow' was the first job I had taken since my children were born that took me away from them consistently over a period of time. That was a big adjustment for all of us.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I'd set out to Oman in search of luxury with culture and family-friendly adventure thrown in. And I found it.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I learnt a salutary lesson when I was being hired for the 'Six O'Clock News' and others were being fired, people who I thought were great, like Jill Dando. Letting her go was a big mistake, in my view. But that is probably going to be me one day - I'll read about it in the press and that will be that.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
People are more than two-dimensional, and again I think the complexities in life, and in one's makeup, grow as you get older, partly through experience.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
In my twenties, I was virulently opposed to anyone commenting on my appearance, lest it come at the expense of my ability.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Age is definitely an issue for women in TV. There comes a point - especially if you're a woman - when your career just falls off a cliff. I'm not being self-pitying. That's just the way it is.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
There are a million and one things I'd love to get stuck into. Travel, finally getting to spend some time with the family. And I'd love to become a magistrate.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I conquered my phobia of camping, although I doubt I'll be pitching my tent at a muddy festival any time soon.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I haven't done Botox. Although there are a few women on screen who do, and if you don't do it, which I don't, you look pretty rough by comparison.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Antiques Roadshow' is a public service. It reflects the nation back to itself, as does 'Question Time.'
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I love 'The Master And Margarita' by Mikhail Bulgakov, which is about repression in Soviet Russia in the 1930s.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Don't ask me the secret to a good long-term relationship - I have no idea! Honestly, I think it's just luck.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I collect things called 'samplers' which are Victorian pieces of needlework usually done by children in a workhouse to show that they have a skill which can be used in service, stitching household linen or that kind of thing. I think they're very humble and very beautiful.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
If I were to say anything to my 18-year-old self, it would be, 'Loosen up. Chill out.'
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
My Duke of Edinburgh interview for his 90th in June 2011 was not one of my successes. I knew what to expect: there were some very uncomfortable moments and put-downs, but I think it made for entertaining viewing.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
Most visitors to Iceland tend to spend just a few hours in Reykjavik before moving on to the geological wonders beyond. I think they are missing out.
Quote by -Fiona Bruce
I've been on camels before, lumbering slowly through the desert - not hugely exciting, but I enjoyed the 'Lawrence of Arabia' vibe.
