It's been hard to gain acceptance in England without the clown makeup because I wore the costume as part of my act for so long.

Before I got married, I had a girlfriend who ran off in the middle of our relationship with a millionaire. She called from the South of France and said, 'I found one, I'm sorry. That's it. Goodbye!'

My hair is massive and fills the mirror.

I stand a lot better chance to go further than Elton.

There's nothing better than curling up with a good book and sitting in front of the fire on winter evenings.

I tend not to eat lunch because a midday meal makes me want to sleep in the afternoon.

Do you know what, I don't even like dancing.

I damaged my legs and ankles many years ago when doing concerts and falling off stage.

Being very dyslexic I couldn't even tie my own shoe laces until the age of 21 and I struggled at school.
