I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.
I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.
I've an idea for doing a Situation Comedy myself but its always difficult to get people to listen to you because they like to put their own ideas forward.
I've been extremely lucky having been in the army when I was a boy of fourteen.
I've done seven shows at the Palladium - long running shows I'm talking about.
I've got one idea I want to do for a film and you know I just enjoy myself doing bits and pieces.
In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.
Of course I've done musicals here in London.
I'm still constantly thinking of ideas. I don't feel 90. I think I'm about 12.
I've always had a sense of humour, and I still do, so I just want to go on performing as long as I can. It's as simple as that.
I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh.
All my boyhood, all I ever wanted was to be loved.
I used to first go on to entertain an audience. But now I go, and this is really true - I go on to have fun with a crowd of my chums.
I can never tell a joke, I've always found it easier to just fall over.
It was smashing working with Jerry Desmonde, he was a very nice chap.
It was absolutely thrilling to meet Laurel and Hardy, they were so nice.
You see I'm semi-retired now and don't work all the time, only most of it!
When you're as famous as I am, stories take on a life of their own.
I have a folder where I keep all the articles the critics have written about me. It makes me feel good.
Most of my comedies were low on budgets - certainly by American standards.
