Quotable Quotes:

"I do like my toast with jam but I'd rather be dead than put Marmite o it."

"[talking about a national newspaper story which wrongly alleged that he and Liza Goddard were having an affair, because their characters Jim Bergerac and Philippa Vale in Bergerac (1981) were romantically linked] She sued a newspaper for the allegation, which wasn't true, and got a lot of money for it. And I thought "She's getting paid money for *not* having an affair with me" - I felt a little demeaned!" (IMDB)

"Always try to hide your sadness with alcohol and a shitload of ice cream."
