You can shuffle my deck any day!

I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.

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.

You can shuffle my deck any day!

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.

All kids love to get dirty, but if I wandered into the garage, my father would say: 'Son, you're not going to have filthy hands like mine. You're going into show business.'

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.
