Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.

As soon as the war ended, we located the one spot on earth that hadn't been touched by the war and blew it to hell.

I don't know what people have against government; they haven't done anything.

England occupies a warm spot in my affections. It was the scene of my greatest performance. I was born there.

As the colonel and I sat swapping stories in the plane, a jet aircraft buzzed past our window. I asked the colonel what type of aircraft it was, and he said, "Don't worry about it, Bob. . . if you can see it, it's obsolete."

It was a typically British birth... I was three at the time. They had a strike in the maternity ward... I came out in sympathy.

I was lucky I wasn't a better boxer, or that's what I'd be now - a punchy ex-pug.
