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.

More quotes by Bruce Forsyth
When I married Wilnelia, one of the first things I wanted to know about Puerto Rico was the quality of the golf courses.
Bruce Forsyth
I am not doddery... doddery I am not!
Bruce Forsyth
Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going.
Bruce Forsyth
I can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.
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
It's frightening, the way life speeds up. When you're at school, time can't go fast enough.
Bruce Forsyth
That Mick Jagger, I feel sorry for him. After all these years he still can't get no satisfaction.
Bruce Forsyth
I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet.
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
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
There are enough tears in any child's life we certainly don't need to add to them in the name of entertainment.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
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
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
People think I rush around all day long like a raving lunatic. I'm much more relaxed than that.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
Bruce Forsyth
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.
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.
