I come from a broken home. My parents split up when I was nine. Everyone gave me a good wallop. But I come from a time when you just put up with that, you got on with things rather than sitting moaning about them.

I can't do most things, if I'm honest, but cooking I definitely can't do.

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

I always think of a show like a plant - a little pruning now and then keeps it healthy, but you shouldn't pull it out and chop the roots up.

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

You have to speak your mind, but without being cruel.

I really hate airport queues. I almost feel they should have cattle prods to hurry us up down the aisles. You can't even complain because they might stop you getting on to the flight.
