The really funny moments you notice throughout your life are very seldom generated by one person telling a joke.

The funny thing about the golf swing is that you try to alter it and end up with the same faults as you've had all your life.

I've had a very happy life, and although I have had tragedy, I've never suffered from any darkness.

I watch the wonderful Dara O'Briain refereeing 'Mock the Week,' where they all compete with each other. I wouldn't be on that. It frightens the life out of me.

I have had the most spoiled golfing life.

I used to have a theory in my mind that if no serious move had happened before I was 38 - not 40, oddly - then I would move into management or something. Fortunately, I was offered 'The Frost Report' when I was 37, so that was a close thing, too.

I have not survived 50 years in showbusiness by being Mr. Nice. If you are weak, this business eats you up.

I have been in the business for 62 years. It's a match made in heaven.

Comedy taste changes. It only changes slightly, but there's always a different angle, a different attitude.

A man can add to his sexuality by being funny, whereas a woman can diminish hers. I don't know why that's the case: it's completely unfair.

There are many comics around who don't really have a feel for comedy. They can say outrageous things, have clever thoughts, and deliver some funny angles. But they are not genuinely funny.

All those I admired as a young performer had a calmness to their comedy.
