It's frightening, the way life speeds up. When you're at school, time can't go fast enough.
It's important for a dancer to wear very tight underpants. I used to feel a bit exposed if I wasn't being held up in the right place.
I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.
I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews.
I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet.
A round of golf is the ideal antidote to stress.
Although I'm predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.
Ambition can take the place of everything - even sex.

Goodness, that Simon Cowell is a sensitive soul.
I am not doddery... doddery I am not!

I hate Mondays - I hate that feeling you've got to get yourself up.
