Citas

I've done everything in this business from acting and singing to tap dancing, opera and one-man shows. People can't understand why I still want to work at my age and I tell them it's not work. I love it.

The producers said that Heartbeat (1992) wasn't likely to last, but asked that I give Greengrass, who only had a few lines, an injection of humour. It was the easiest role I've ever played because they allowed me so much freedom with Greengrass. I got the idea for him to wear that old grey army coat from when I did The Caretaker on stage so it appeared that he had a heroic past in the military.

I did 31 films. Confessions. Carry On. All rubbish. I did two films with Arthur Lowe. Lovely man, terrible films. I enjoyed doing them. It was a laugh, but they weren't great. They damaged my reputation.
