I don't want to grow old gracefully. I want to put up a bit of a fight.

I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews.

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.

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

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.

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

I can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.
