When I was in the business as a young performer, it was a recognised fact that when you got to 60 you were out, because there'd be a new crop of comics coming up all the time, every 10 years or so.
In my mind, everything is too sanitised on television - what is wrong with things going wrong?
On stage, I think I'm 35. Working takes over my whole body and I become a younger man - that's why I won't stop.
Goodness, that Simon Cowell is a sensitive soul.
It's frightening, the way life speeds up. When you're at school, time can't go fast enough.
Not working is bad for you. It is my drug, it gives me a high; most performers will tell you that. And there is nothing like the high that an audience gives you.
I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet.
People think I rush around all day long like a raving lunatic. I'm much more relaxed than that.
I hate Mondays - I hate that feeling you've got to get yourself up.
People think I am the crazy person on stage, but I know how to relax.
I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.
A round of golf is the ideal antidote to stress.
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.
I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.
Some people hate the sight of me as soon as they see me on television. They loathe the look of me, and I accept that from the days of variety. I would walk on and some people would open a newspaper and think, 'He's first on, so he can't be any good.' I accept that.
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.
Although I'm predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.
Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going.
He was so good at everything he did. You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian. He was an actor, and a great writer.
I can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.
They do say, the smaller the feet, the better the dancer.
If I go out one night, I must stay in the next. It's the same with my golf. If I play one day, I don't play the next. I try to pace myself.
I do lead a careful diet, I don't overeat, I have fruit and vegetables every day and I drink a lot of water. And my darling wife keeps me so young it is ridiculous. Being with her is an inspiration as well.
Little did I know that there's nothing more competitive in the world than a professional ballroom dancer. They are as competitive as Olympic athletes.
Lots of people come up to me and call me Sir Bruce now. Interviewers call me Sir with every question, but I never make a point of making people call me Sir. It doesn't matter to me, though; it was a great honour to be knighted. I'm very proud of it.
