I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews.

Not working is bad for you. It is my drug, it gives me a high most performers will tell you that. And there is nothing like the high that an audience gives you.

That Mick Jagger, I feel sorry for him. After all these years he still can't get no satisfaction.

People think I rush around all day long like a raving lunatic. I'm much more relaxed than that.

Little did I know that there's nothing more competitive in the world than a professional ballroom dancer. They are as competitive as Olympic athletes.

Some people hate the sight of me as soon as they see me on television. They loathe the look of me, and I accept that from the days of variety. I would walk on and some people would open a newspaper and think, 'He's first on, so he can't be any good.' I accept that.

I met my darling wife Wilnelia in 1980 when we were on the judging panel for the Miss World contest at the Royal Albert Hall. With two ex-wives and five daughters, I thought I wouldn't be involved with anyone for a long time - if ever. Winnie was so gorgeous, my jaw dropped - and it's a big jaw to drop.

Just doing any kind of work - even an interview for breakfast television - makes me feel happy.

It's frightening, the way life speeds up. When you're at school, time can't go fast enough.
Bruce Forsyth
Image
If I go out one night, I must stay in the next. It's the same with my golf. If I play one day, I don't play the next. I try to pace myself.

When you've been brought up in variety, I think timing is always important in your life. If I'm ever late for anything, whether it's personal or business, I always apologise. 'I'm sorry I'm late,' and all that. And if somebody is late meeting me, I expect them to say 'I'm sorry I'm late.' It's just, shall we say, showbiz etiquette of my day.

On stage, I think I'm 35. Working takes over my whole body and I become a younger man - that's why I won't stop.

Ambition can take the place of everything - even sex.

If I couldn't move, I don't know what I would do. That would be terrifying for me I don't know how I'd cope with that.

It's important for a dancer to wear very tight underpants. I used to feel a bit exposed if I wasn't being held up in the right place.

I don't do close-ups any more. I am better looking from the waist downwards.
