“I sang 'American Pie' a lot in my stage set. It had a knack of uniting an audience in a sing-along. It's a clever song about American history but wrapped in a fantastic tune.”
“I've always been looking for other people's approval.”
“I actually enjoy being heckled; it keeps it interesting, and I think it is a nice feeling for people once they have left the show.”
“I still give myself the right to be highly critical of others, though.”
“It can be tough as a jobbing actor.”
“I am very proud of what 'Johnny' achieved in stand-up comedy because he believed entirely in giving an audience the best kick he could. But he was someone who was quite detrimental to my health, both emotionally and physically.”
“Being 'Johnny' was almost like an out of body experience. I thought he was just a character that I'd created and could quite easily step away from, but it was much more difficult than that.”
“I hate flying, airports and the whole rigmarole - queuing up, security and lost luggage.”
“It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.”
