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.

More quotes by Bruce Forsyth

Image
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 can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.

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.

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.

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

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

I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet.

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.

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

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.

There are enough tears in any child's life we certainly don't need to add to them in the name of entertainment.

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 I married Wilnelia, one of the first things I wanted to know about Puerto Rico was the quality of the golf courses.

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.

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.

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.

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.
