It's never too early to panic.

I haven't danced since 1973; I'm too old.

It's never too early to panic.

I am a little bit of a softie, yes. Actually I don't think it's softness, I think it's kindness.

I always tell the adults at my dance school, 'Men, you are going to have to do something that you are absolutely not used to: you have got to take command and be the boss.' Because - and this is just an observation - women get their way.

Obviously you can't please everyone. I'm sure some people say, 'Bloody old Len Goodman gets on my nerves.

I try to keep myself in the best of company and my horses in the worst of company.
