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.

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

When I was in the business as a young performer, it was a recognised fact that when you got to 60 you were out, because there'd be a new crop of comics coming up all the time, every 10 years or so.

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.

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

It gets harder every day to get out of bed. I don't feel like it loads of the time. It is only my exercise routine which wakes me up.

A round of golf is the ideal antidote to stress.
