- People who know me know I am not homophobic.
- [on Jimmy Savile] A bloke who's a loner, dresses and acts like a nonce and thinks he is the most important person in the world. Hmmm. I knew... and didn't do anything. Mind you, I had no proof. To me he was just another pervert. There are lots of them in showbiz. There seems to be more gay ones than straight but that's because there are probably more gays in showbiz than most professions.
- I have been rearrested, which means you turn up thinking the first two allegations are gonna be dropped and another fucking load of shit drops on you from 1978. I don't know what I was doing in 1978, I don't even know what wife I was with then.
- I met Jimmy Savile, if he arrived you f*****d off, and now the git drops dead and Operation Yewtree decide to prove a point. They say 'we missed Jimmy Savile, now we're gonna arrest every other f****r that walks the planet'.
- Wasn't The Rockford Files (1974) the greatest theme tune ever done in the '70s?
- I believe in reincarnation so I've made my will out to myself.
- The police never named me at all. The police never name anybody. It's the press, they think "Do we go with the fact that we know that it's a 58-year-old man that lives in Stockbridge along that road and here's his postcode and his phone number? Do we say that it's him?" Yeah, they do. They do that.
- [on his politically correct critics] They haven't been to see me, for one thing, or they're judging me from what happened in the 1970s when Love Thy Neighbour (1972) was top of the charts.
- It's gone Mental, our country.
