From a young age I was really into pop music because I had these two older sisters who were into it, and I wanted to be like them. They liked Wham! and so I was really into them too.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Me and my husband think the internet is a really positive thing. We know games that have taught our children problem-solving skills but that doesn't mean we are going to say play 'Call of Duty.'
Quote by -Konnie Huq
We as parents, and the control culture, it is our responsibility to make sure we give the right perceived norms and the right cultural conditions.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I had an instamatic wind-on camera and remember buying the flashcubes and fixing on top of the frame. The flash credits were limited so you had to be careful not to waste any.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
In general, I think we're more or less shaped and formed by our late 20s. Things come along during that time that make us cynical. By the time you're in your 30s, it's hard to unpick those mindsets that have formed. It takes years of therapy to undo them.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I say throwaway, jokey things. When you're young-looking and you are presenting something that has gravitas you can't look down your nose, but when David Dimbleby does it, it's OK.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I grew up as a Muslim: it was quite a conservative upbringing; I didn't wear mini-skirts. But my mum and dad had a good sense of humour and were creative. I guess all of that shaped me.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I remember being in Vietnam in my early 20s, at the height of Lonely Planet's fame, and all the travellers would converge on internet cafes to send emails back home. It was a great place to exchange tips and recommendations, so you actually interacted with people.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
The one thing more important to my parents than my career is that I am happily married.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
When I was in the sixth form I presented a cable and satellite programme about music, television and video. I used to do public speaking competitions.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
When I was growing up, I always felt a bit like I didn't quite fit in, a feeling that perhaps still lingers in the background to this very day. I was the small brown girl in the big white suburb.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
In all aspects of our society we overcomplicate things under the guise of making things easier and simpler, when in fact we are doing the opposite.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Ethnic minority women generally have poorer outcomes from their pregnancy compared to white women.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I'm lucky in that the media is much more freelancey. So I didn't have that pressure that lots of people have if you jump off the ladder, then you get left behind.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I have thick hair which is like Plasticine - it's mouldable. So I'll fashion it into some creation that looks presentable. I often wear it down because I have a tiny head and small face, and my hair adds volume to help disguise my pinhead.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
If, as statistics suggest, millennials' diets are more plant-based than ever, and we continue to bring up our kids to eat less or no meat, the future could be bright - the future could be vegan.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
No one went to the ballot box to vote for something worse than the status quo.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
By fermenting tiny single-cell organisms we will be able to synthesise all manner of foodstuffs in the future, everything from pasta to eggs, fish and meat. Small tweaks in the process will enable production of different proteins used to replicate food we already eat.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Journalists know other journalists - that's the only reason my engagement made it into the papers. I don't think real people are interested - just the media, just Twitter!
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Never mess with other people's kids. You will never win. It's the child's word against yours and they have parental reinforcements as back-up. You just can't triumph.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I think relaxation is escaping from your everyday encounters. You can read the words on a page and be transported to somewhere else. And the more consumed you are with it, the more you're cocooned.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
A Final Say referendum on the Brexit that actually lies in front of us will give everyone a tangible and decisive vote. I and most people, Brexiteers and Remainers alike, want the same thing - the best for the UK.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
My dad moved to Britain from Bangladesh in the 1960s to work as an actuary for Prudential. However, after seeing an empty retail space in Soho, he decided to open an Asian restaurant instead, despite not having any business experience.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
We rip out a perfectly good kitchen worth thousands of pounds, only to replace it with another costing roughly the same. The old one has to be disposed of, the new one had to be made. From raw materials, factory processes and transportation the extra effort is substantial. Overcomplication.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I did this show for Sky called 'King of the Nerds', which was a reality show looking for the world's biggest nerd, essentially, celebrating the geek, which is also what I'm about.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
A problem shared is a problem halved, but as with so many problems affecting women - periods, menopause, post-natal depression - we often feel embarrassed, as if we're moaning or just plain wrong to air them.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
When they do actually get pregnant, most expectant mothers understandably keep the whole thing a secret because of how fragile the first four months can be.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
The internet creates a mask and you are talking to people who you don't necessarily know.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
My parents are proof that arranged marriages can work. It is a great part of my culture but I grew up in a completely different place, so I wouldn't want anyone to arrange a marriage for me.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I guess when you're on 'Blue Peter' there's that goody-two-shoes image which people find attractive.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
If you're broke and you're living on the street and you're happy, you're still winning compared to someone who is rich and depressed, because your mental wellbeing is still there.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
It was daunting, giving up a regular job for a freelance world, where every day off is a day of unemployment and you are conscious you are not earning. But it was time to take a gamble and see what's on the other side.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Growing up in a Muslim family, I didn't eat pork and was tactically vegetarian at school in a bid to avoid accidentally dining on swine, a galling prospect.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Back in humanity's hunter-gatherer days, you only ate meat if you'd recently made a kill, which required a huge amount of effort, and was therefore relatively rare. There's a reason humans only have one set of incisors to rip our meat apart: we're not supposed to eat the stuff at every meal.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I don't really buy a weekly magazine but do flick through them if they're in front of me. A bit of style and a dose of gossip is just what you need sometimes.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Let's have a People's Vote to safeguard gender equality and continue the drive towards a fairer world for us all.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Mental health really is a search to be happy, I think that's what people want in life - and if you're happy you're winning.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
I was mindful that clothes, objects and items had all been designed and manufactured. Thought had gone into those processes, so to mindlessly treat everything without care or as disposable was disrespectful. Things should be valued.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Most people don't go around talking about their miscarriages. It's not really something you shout about. What's more, people often feel embarrassed or even guilty about them.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
Imagine owning a one million pound coin. Where would you put it? The pressure. I never even take my wedding rings off after the time I lost one for days, only to find it in a random trouser pocket.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
We need to take back control of our political process. We know so much more about what Brexit will mean, and the health implications, especially for those who are already in a disadvantaged position.
Quote by -Konnie Huq
West Wittering in Chichester is perfect for a short break and if I've got longer, Devon and Cornwall are my favourites places in Britain.
