People think I rush around all day long like a raving lunatic. I'm much more relaxed than that.
People think I am the crazy person on stage, but I know how to relax.
I hate the term 'arm candy.' But, look, a woman's figure is a beautiful thing, and if she has shapely legs, then she should show them off, because men love to see that. Not just heterosexual men - gay men like to see a woman in her beauty and the shape of her.
My biggest regret is that my mother didn't see me walk on to that London Palladium stage, being the star she always wanted me to be. But I always say that when she reached Heaven, she had a word with a few agents.
I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews.
I don't want to grow old gracefully. I want to put up a bit of a fight.
I hate Mondays - I hate that feeling you've got to get yourself up.
I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet.
I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.
I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.
Puerto Rico is one of those places you can be as quiet or as crazy as you want, because there's so much nightlife. I have to take the craziness carefully.
I don't do close-ups any more. I am better looking from the waist downwards.
I am not doddery... doddery I am not!
It may be an old cliche, but I think true love will last; it has no end. But finding the right person is a very difficult thing.
