More quotes by Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.
Bruce Forsyth
No one - apart from my agent, perhaps - should leave one of my shows in tears.
Bruce Forsyth
I don't do close-ups any more. I am better looking from the waist downwards.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
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.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
Ambition can take the place of everything - even sex.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
They do say, the smaller the feet, the better the dancer.
Bruce Forsyth
People think I rush around all day long like a raving lunatic. I'm much more relaxed than that.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.
Bruce Forsyth
That Mick Jagger, I feel sorry for him. After all these years he still can't get no satisfaction.
Bruce Forsyth
I can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
I am not doddery... doddery I am not!
Bruce Forsyth
Although I'm predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.
