I must be the only person in 'Strictly' history who's actually put on weight during rehearsals.

Two hours onstage... that's the best part because it makes it all worth it.

Richard was in heavy, heavy costume, he could hardly sit, you know, and I turned up and they put me in two layers of silk, so I played him much lighter - you know, floating around in a pair of slippers, a bit of a hippy.

It's an awesome thing to be flung out onto the stage twice a weekend in front of 250 people, and you have to make it up as you go along.

I've had money thrown onstage, dollars, couple of five-dollar bills. I took the money, but it wasn't much.

When I go onstage, I want to relieve your mind, your pressures.

It seems like if you are not painted up special way or have some tailor made outfit to put on to go out on stage... I don't know... there's too much of it out there.

I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.

If I go onstage, I want to give people everything they want and more. I'll wash their car for them on their way out.

An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.
