My father earned every penny he had, and I would have loved to have bought him a Rolls-Royce because his whole life was cars. Sadly, he didn't live to see the day when I could have done that for him, which still hurts.
He was so good at everything he did. You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian. He was an actor, and a great writer.
Nice to see you, to see you nice
You can shuffle my deck any day!
Just doing any kind of work - even an interview for breakfast television - makes me feel happy.
My holidays are very important. Mind you, I take a very long one every year.
No one - apart from my agent, perhaps - should leave one of my shows in tears.
I hate the term 'arm candy.' But, look, a woman's figure is a beautiful thing, and if she has shapely legs, then she should show them off, because men love to see that. Not just heterosexual men - gay men like to see a woman in her beauty and the shape of her.
It could still be a good night if you play your cards right.
I'm the leader of the pack, which makes me such a lucky Jack, for openers, here's a pair of cuties, here's my darling dealing beauties.
I met my darling wife Wilnelia in 1980 when we were on the judging panel for the Miss World contest at the Royal Albert Hall. With two ex-wives and five daughters, I thought I wouldn't be involved with anyone for a long time - if ever. Winnie was so gorgeous, my jaw dropped - and it's a big jaw to drop.
It's sad when you see most of your friends in the business gone, like Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howard, Eric Morecambe, Roy Castle, Les Dawson. They were very dear to me. You no longer have the chance to bump into them at a celebrity do.
When I married Wilnelia, one of the first things I wanted to know about Puerto Rico was the quality of the golf courses.
That Mick Jagger, I feel sorry for him. After all these years he still can't get no satisfaction.
