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

I've always had a sense of humour, and I still do, so I just want to go on performing as long as I can. It's as simple as that.

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

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.

But no, I've just been very lucky. But I've worked hard, and the harder you work, the luckier you seem to get.

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