I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.

People definitely wait outside my house, hotel, apartment, whatever, asking for hugs or autographs.

When you've been brought up in variety, I think timing is always important in your life. If I'm ever late for anything, whether it's personal or business, I always apologise. 'I'm sorry I'm late,' and all that. And if somebody is late meeting me, I expect them to say 'I'm sorry I'm late.' It's just, shall we say, showbiz etiquette of my day.

Do I show up onstage late sometimes? That's something I could definitely work on. I'm human.

There's no reason, ever, to be late. Or early.

I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them.

I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.

People cross the road to give me their autographs.

I am always early to work but sometimes late to other things.
