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.

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

I used to first go on to entertain an audience. But now I go, and this is really true - I go on to have fun with a crowd of my chums.

I do play drums when I'm on tour.

It was smashing working with Jerry Desmonde, he was a very nice chap.

At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.

I owe everything to the army.
