My father earned every penny he had, and I would have loved to have bought him a Rolls-Royce because his whole life was cars. Sadly, he didn't live to see the day when I could have done that for him, which still hurts.

No one - apart from my agent, perhaps - should leave one of my shows in tears.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Once you've experienced the warmth of an audience, the achievement of getting your first laugh, and entertaining them, singing or playing piano, it just keeps it all going.

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.

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