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

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

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.

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.

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.

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