Quotes about:

• You've given it some thought, you've tried to prepare as well as you can, but you're reacting to what you see so you can't really prepare that much.

• I think it's something that you learn to deal with the more experienced you become. When I first presented live news, which was 12 years ago, I was very inexperienced and probably didn't deal with the pressure as well.
