I don't do close-ups any more. I am better looking from the waist downwards.
I am not doddery... doddery I am not!
The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don't find very often, then that is what love is all about.
It may be an old cliche, but I think true love will last; it has no end. But finding the right person is a very difficult thing.
Puerto Rico is one of those places you can be as quiet or as crazy as you want, because there's so much nightlife. I have to take the craziness carefully.
I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.

Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going.
Goodness, that Simon Cowell is a sensitive soul.
