I've been extremely lucky having been in the army when I was a boy of fourteen.

Such is life and life is such and after all it isn't much. First a cradle. Then a hearse. It might have been better, but it could have been worse.

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

I've got one idea I want to do for a film and you know I just enjoy myself doing bits and pieces.

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.

You know I've got a chum, a smashing mate, he's got a dog with no legs, and he calls it a cigarette. It's true, yeah, because at nighttime he has to take it out for a drag.

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.
