Zitat des Tages von Norman Wisdom:
I can never tell a joke, I've always found it easier to just fall over.
All my boyhood, all I ever wanted was to be loved.
I've done seven shows at the Palladium - long running shows I'm talking about.
I've an idea for doing a Situation Comedy myself but its always difficult to get people to listen to you because they like to put their own ideas forward.
I've been extremely lucky having been in the army when I was a boy of fourteen.
Well if I was going to describe my audience, it's going to take longer than you'd ever expect, hundreds of years in fact, because there's many of them, all over the world.
I used to first go on to entertain an audience. But now I go, and this is really true - I go on to have fun with a crowd of my chums.
I like consistency. If you've had a childhood like mine, you want some things you can rely on to stay the same.
I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.
I've got one idea I want to do for a film and you know I just enjoy myself doing bits and pieces.
At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.
I play drums, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, piano.
I've always had a sense of humour, and I still do, so I just want to go on performing as long as I can. It's as simple as that.
In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.
It was absolutely thrilling to meet Laurel and Hardy, they were so nice.
I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh.
But no, I've just been very lucky. But I've worked hard, and the harder you work, the luckier you seem to get.
I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.
My father used to be away for months at a time, and he'd never leave any money for food, so my brother and I had to go out and nick it.
I was born in very sorry circumstances. Both of my parents were very sorry.
My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.
Such is life and life is such and after all it isn't much. First a cradle. Then a hearse. It might have been better, but it could have been worse.
As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two.
I must admit I like to muck around a bit; I always have.
Of course I've done musicals here in London.
I do play drums when I'm on tour.
You know I've got a chum, a smashing mate, he's got a dog with no legs, and he calls it a cigarette. It's true, yeah, because at nighttime he has to take it out for a drag.
I've been making people laugh for 40 years, so I know how important it is!
My only phobia is untidiness. My hair has to be neatly kept; my shoes are always clean. Everything has to be in a straight line, in its place.
I have a folder where I keep all the articles the critics have written about me. It makes me feel good.
What I like doing most is making children laugh.
I'm still constantly thinking of ideas. I don't feel 90. I think I'm about 12.
Most of my comedies were low on budgets - certainly by American standards.
