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

I owe everything to the army.

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.

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

All my boyhood, all I ever wanted was to be loved.

In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.

I do play drums when I'm on tour.
