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.

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

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.

When a performer doesn't get nervous, that is when you have to give up.

Did you write the words, or the lyrics?

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

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.
