As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two.

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.

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

I can never tell a joke, I've always found it easier to just fall over.

I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.

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

I do play drums when I'm on tour.
