“Oh, they're quite widely spaced, and we'd suddenly have a big family visited upon us, you know, we just started having children really liked it, carried on doing it, you know, and they're all wonderful with each other.”

“Oh, don't say that, that's a heartbreaking question. I think, well, one of them is a grown man he's gone away and got a job. Two of them are at university, so what's the maths? Five, four. I think that's four. Four at that.”

“On a ship we're not on a ship, a monstrous ego, but I don't like being in the limelight. I like the kind of Cardinal Richelieu, you know.”

“It was about Vikings. That's all I remember. No, it wasn't actually. No, I should go back and kind of do a Viking franchise.”

“Yeah, I was in Sister Paul's class in Saint Bartholomew's School in Rainhill, and I'd had a really good friend all the way through school and he was off sick. His name was Graham, and I kind of poured all the energy that I used to pour into making him laugh during lessons into this piece of work. And at the end of the lesson, Sister Paul collects all the pieces of work in and she picked up mine and she looked at it and she looked slightly askant at it and she sort of looked at me and wondered where it had come from. She looked at me as though I had laid an egg. And she went to the front of the class, and she read it out. I've always thought that if she'd said Frank, you come and read it out, I would have grown up wanting to be a comedian or an actor or a performer of some sort. But there's something really delicious about not being in the limelight, but still getting laughs.”
