The thing with children is they're a bit like baking a fruitcake: you throw all the ingredients in but you never know how they're going to turn out.

I'm passionate about old people because I am one myself.

The truth is, I've been lucky. But just like the waltz, life has its own rhythm of rise and fall.

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.

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

I'm a cup of tea in a world of lattes.

I won't eat anything I can't spell or wouldn't tread in.
