People think I am the crazy person on stage, but I know how to relax.

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.

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.

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

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

My holidays are very important. Mind you, I take a very long one every year.

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.
