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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going.

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

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.

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