There are people who like just ordinary comedy fun, and making mistakes - which I do easily - and then there are people who like the falling over.

It was absolutely thrilling to meet Laurel and Hardy, they were so nice.

I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.

I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh.

I like consistency. If you've had a childhood like mine, you want some things you can rely on to stay the same.

My only phobia is untidiness. My hair has to be neatly kept; my shoes are always clean. Everything has to be in a straight line, in its place.

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.
