Our comedy was light-hearted amusement that seemingly tripped naturally off the tongue. That's why I don't think it will date.

All those I admired as a young performer had a calmness to their comedy.

Comedy taste changes. It only changes slightly, but there's always a different angle, a different attitude.

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.

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'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.
