I was born in very sorry circumstances.

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.

I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.

At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.

Of course I've done musicals here in London.

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 was born in very sorry circumstances.

I owe everything to the army.

All my boyhood, all I ever wanted was to be loved.

As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two.

I've got one idea I want to do for a film and you know I just enjoy myself doing bits and pieces.

I was born in very sorry circumstances. Both of my parents were very sorry.

I've done seven shows at the Palladium - long running shows I'm talking about.

I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.

Well if I was going to describe my audience, it's going to take longer than you'd ever expect, hundreds of years in fact, because there's many of them, all over the world.

I've been extremely lucky having been in the army when I was a boy of fourteen.

I'm still constantly thinking of ideas. I don't feel 90. I think I'm about 12.

I do play drums when I'm on tour.

But no, I've just been very lucky. But I've worked hard, and the harder you work, the luckier you seem to get.

I play drums, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, piano.

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.

Such is life and life is such and after all it isn't much. First a cradle. Then a hearse. It might have been better, but it could have been worse.

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 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.

You know I've got a chum, a smashing mate, he's got a dog with no legs, and he calls it a cigarette. It's true, yeah, because at nighttime he has to take it out for a drag.

I like consistency. If you've had a childhood like mine, you want some things you can rely on to stay the same.

I can never tell a joke, I've always found it easier to just fall over.

It was absolutely thrilling to meet Laurel and Hardy, they were so nice.

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

There are people who like just ordinary comedy fun, and making mistakes - which I do easily - and then there are people who like the falling over.

You see I'm semi-retired now and don't work all the time, only most of it!

Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and effort will take them - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances.

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.

Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.

Historical methodology, as I see it, is a product of common sense applied to circumstances.

Planets are too dim to be detected with existing equipment, far away, except in these very special circumstances where they're seen by their gravitational effect.

Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.

A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail.

Let everyone regulate his conduct... by the golden rule of doing to others as in similar circumstances we would have them do to us, and the path of duty will be clear before him.

There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances.

Libertarians typically argue that particular obligations, at least under normal circumstances, must be created by consent; they cannot be unilaterally imposed by others.

Until fighting ends and there are conditions, which allow the free expression of will by the people, there can be no elections and elections are not held in these circumstances anywhere in the world.

You mustn't forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.

Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.

To know all about anything is to know how to deal with it under all circumstances.
