Ronnie Corbett

Our comedy was light-hearted amusement that seemingly tripped naturally off the tongue. That's why I don't think it will date.

What is so good about 'Gavin and Stacey' is that it is very real, Welsh, and well written.

How long does it take to make 'They Think It's All Over?' It's just laughing at each other and thinking, 'Aren't we clever?'

I suppose to the outside world I do seem slightly obsessed. But I once had a balance problem with my inner ear, and the fear loitered. Yet I have found that golf is like a yoga procedure for me: it's had wonderful, sedative, remedial qualities for my day-to-day life.

Dad was a baker, and Mum was tied up with church and the social club.

We knew what mums, dads, and children would understand and enjoy without resentment. I don't see the requirement to upset people. You're there to entertain and please.

I'm always nervous. A classy comedian is full of self-doubt disguised with an air of false confidence. If there isn't self-doubt, you seem aggressive.

If I change car, I change car. I don't get very fond of things.

We had brilliant writers on our shows, and I do think that 'The Two Ronnies' has stood the test of time. It was certainly the greatest fun to do.

I am happy most of the time.

It's difficult to be clean and clever at the same time, but a lot of our stuff was.

It is possible to have good manners and be funny at the same time. Ronnie Barker and I proved that.
