[on performing in 'The Pirates of Penzance'] When the Major General hits the stage, you have to do one of the greatest patter songs ever written, like an Olympian at the hundred metre sprint or at the top of the diving board. Like everything else, it's just bloody hard work, and if you don't put everything you've got into it, it just won't work. I use every ounce of technique and elbow grease that I have gathered over sixty years, and just do it.
