Golf is the most fascinating game, but other people's game is the most boring thing.
All those I admired as a young performer had a calmness to their comedy.
We had a certain kind of material that was not dangerously esoteric.
I suppose to the outside world I do seem slightly obsessed. But I once had a balance problem with my inner ear, and the fear loitered. Yet I have found that golf is like a yoga procedure for me: it's had wonderful, sedative, remedial qualities for my day-to-day life.
Comedy taste changes. It only changes slightly, but there's always a different angle, a different attitude.
My first pet at home in Edinburgh was a dog my dad had called Glen. He was a small sheepdog and went with my dad every day to work as manager of a cooking centre, which made the children's lunches for schools.
You get fed up watching shows with not much care and love, reality programmes where they put people in a house for a fortnight and film them doing everything, or where participants arrive after lunch and do the programme at six.
I used to have a theory in my mind that if no serious move had happened before I was 38 - not 40, oddly - then I would move into management or something. Fortunately, I was offered 'The Frost Report' when I was 37, so that was a close thing, too.
David Frost plucked me from the nightclubs.
I think people feel starved of nice, glamorous entertainment. They want to see costumes and gaiety and a singer; old-fashioned entertainment - it won't die easily.
I have had the most spoiled golfing life.
I just keep jogging along, and people seem to like me. And for that I am very grateful.
Our comedy was light-hearted amusement that seemingly tripped naturally off the tongue. That's why I don't think it will date.
Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac.
We did Donald McGill, seaside-postcard stuff - middle of the road.
Part of my style was getting into a muddle. Audiences think that's part of the act. Sometimes it might be - but you have to guess which bits.
I have been trapped in some posh toilets, including those in Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, and at Victor Spinetti's memorial at St. Paul's Covent Garden, I got locked in the loo.
It is possible to have good manners and be funny at the same time. Ronnie Barker and I proved that.
It is all down to 'The Two Ronnies.' Those years with Ronnie Barker were the spine of my career.
I actually found it very moving how destructive depression is. I was really saddened by this burden people have to handle.
