To live in Australia permanently is rather like going to a party and dancing all night with one's mother.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were friends and the last people I expected would predecease me. They were, in a sense, casualties of fame.

I really feel sorry for kids who aren't interested in history - recent history, either, because it is this that made us what we are.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.

I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.
