The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don't find very often, then that is what love is all about.

Ambition can take the place of everything - even sex.

I do lead a careful diet, I don't overeat, I have fruit and vegetables every day and I drink a lot of water. And my darling wife keeps me so young it is ridiculous. Being with her is an inspiration as well.

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.

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

Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going.

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.

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.

It's sad when you see most of your friends in the business gone, like Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howard, Eric Morecambe, Roy Castle, Les Dawson. They were very dear to me. You no longer have the chance to bump into them at a celebrity do.

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.

They do say, the smaller the feet, the better the dancer.

It may be an old cliche, but I think true love will last it has no end. But finding the right person is a very difficult thing.

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.

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.

Although I'm predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.

Lots of people come up to me and call me Sir Bruce now. Interviewers call me Sir with every question, but I never make a point of making people call me Sir. It doesn't matter to me, though it was a great honour to be knighted. I'm very proud of it.

I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.

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 frightening, the way life speeds up. When you're at school, time can't go fast enough.
