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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nice to see you, to see you nice

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
