I just felt that 'Golden Balls' was the right thing to do. I didn't care if people thought I was a failure.

Yes, you could call me a tree hugger, an environmentalist, an eco-warrior even - except I don't spend my life in a kaftan, smoking joss sticks and walking a skinny dog on a piece of string.

I have that working class fear of having nothing. I've always got one eye on what's in the bank.

I learned a lot about human nature. So much, in fact, that human nature will be my specialist subject on 'Mastermind'.

When I hit the scene, there was Billy Connolly and Max Boyce. It was all mother-in-law and Irish jokes, and we broke the mould. Now there are thousands of comedians out there, and I don't think I can be above it all.

I train a lot. After training sessions, I like to stay with some balls and some goalkeepers - they help me a lot, too.

My batting practice would be a guy throwing balls in the way in which I liked it. It was all about getting ball on bat, rather than something whizzing past your ear.

He's so ugly. When you walked by him, your pants wrinkle. He made fly balls curve foul.

I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well and score more, and it will be a matter of time. Once you get back into that rhythm, you will start getting balls that drop to you in positions where it wasn't before. I do have that feeling that it is going to come soon.
