I didn't have any qualifications when I left school - I had three O-levels.

I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.

In show business, you had levels. I was at the top of the TV end of it.

I'm never satisfied. I want to get to the next level.

It doesn't matter how many A-levels you have, what kind of a degree you have, if you have good manners, people will like you.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

If you don't measure yourself by achievement, how are you going to set achievement levels for other people?

However, I wasn't very good at the sciences, or didn't have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn't set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn't get a good enough result to go to University.

But I learned that there's a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there's not much else that can really get to ya.
