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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going.

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.

I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.

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