My old dance teacher, Jimmy Wilde, a former European ballroom dancing champion, was so sophisticated.

My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee, eating porridge and reading the paper at a local cafe.

I'm busier than ever and it's led to new opportunities. But I've never worried about being rich or famous - for me, it's all about the dancing.

If things don't go fantastically, you just have to deal with it.

I don't like the Samba; it's nonsense. With a lot of these Latin dances I can't really understand what they're all about. I like the Rumba and the Paso Doble but the others I could take or leave.

It's great that ballroom dancing is being recognised. For many years ballroom dancers were misunderstood and other dance forms didn't want anything to do with us.

Ballroom is two people dancing together to music, touching in perfect harmony.

I like to get up and get out. Otherwise you end up kicking about, and it's easy to flick the telly on; then before you know it, it is 11 A.M. and you haven't done anything.

Sadly, it has often been said that my rear is better than my front, so thank you very much indeed.

My goal is to be the best TV presenter, the best entertainer, the best singer. I still want to be the best dancer. I want to be the best at everything I do.

Too many multi-vitamins are packaged as one size fits all, but you should be more specific about what you need. When I was competing as a dancer, I took zinc for healthy skin and immune system.

There is no reality other than perceptual reality.

One way or another way it will happen..., until then make the correct choice. You don't want to go into the wrong path!

I think the first picture taken is often the best one.

I put the sweat of my life into this project, and if it's a failure, I'll leave the country and never come back.

The happiness of man, as well as his dignity, consists in virtue.

She wanted an Italian sports car - with the sport still in it.

Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself, You gotta believe in foolish miracles, it's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose, you can choose, don't confuse, win or lose.

People still don't get how astounding Darwinism is. People think what shocked everybody was that Charles Darwin seemed to be saying we had descended from apes.

Working on television is like being shot out of a cannon. They cram you all up with rehearsals, then someone lights a fuse and - .BANG! - there you are in someone's living room.

I spit into the face of time that has transfigured me
