My biggest regret is that my mother didn't see me walk on to that London Palladium stage, being the star she always wanted me to be. But I always say that when she reached Heaven, she had a word with a few agents.

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.

Just doing any kind of work - even an interview for breakfast television - makes me feel happy.

It's the combination of marrying a beautiful woman three decades younger and my iPad that keeps me young.

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

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

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.
