People always say to me, 'You're exactly the same as you are on the telly.' I'm always taken aback, because yes, I'm exactly the same. I don't play a character. Certain facets of my personality are heightened, because you need to project a bit more on the telly, but essentially I am exactly the same. Show less «

[When she replaced Lauren Sanchez as hostess of So You Think You Can Dance (2005), for the show's second season]: When I first started the show, I said that I'd really like to be involved in the audition process. I wanted to develop a relationship with the dancers right from the beginning. I didn't want them to suddenly turn up to the studio eight weeks into the process and say, 'Hold on a second, who's the English bird?' If it's 5 a.m. and freezing cold and snowing in New York City and they're lining up outside for auditions, I am too. Show less «

[If there were serious doubts about whether American audience would warm to her, or even understand her British accent]: I was very aware that the only thing that had changed with the show in the second season was me. So if it bombed, I would be the big, bad English scapegoat they'd ship back off home. You have to be logical about it. You can't just suddenly come over here all sort of wide-eyed. You have to work it out and make it your own, make yourself a bit indispensable. I wanted to become part of the infrastructure. Show less «
