- He was educated at Hillhead High School in Glasgow which he described as 'built like a fever hospital for the far east' and that he was quite convinced 'there was a perfectly good school out in the far east being used as a fever hospital'. (This on account of the open corridors leading to the classrooms).

- Scots can deny it as much as they like, but I've seen a lot of anti-English sentiment expressed north of the border but never anti-Scots sentiments south of the border. They don't know any better. It's got to do with these dreadful films they've made, anti-English films and that wretched Australian... Coração Valente (1995) - it's not even correct historically.
- [on Patricia Routledge] A great singing voice, she's a very good actress, vocally, but she's also a great clown.
- I'm not mad about comics speaking a hundred words a minute and walking up and down that vast stage alone. It doesn't appeal to me. They lack repose. The comedians I love most really were the American ones. Well, particularly, Jack Benny who could stand there, raise one eyebrow and have the audience in hysterics. He was the only comedian I ever wanted to meet.
