The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.

I happen to have a public profile. Ditto newspaper editors. It's a result of what I do, not an end.

I like the transience of Klimt paintings.

A friend of mine once said he like his women like his parmesan: strong smelling and shaved. I don't agree with that, but I don't like hairy women.

If you chase something too desperately, it eludes you.

There's never any graffiti in the hotel. Although in the Gents a couple of weeks ago I did see someone had drawn a lady's part. Quite detailed. The guy obviously had talent.

Me, myself, personally, I like to keep myself private. I have never said I am a paragon of virtue, a model of morality. I simply do what I do.
