Eric Sykes Quotations

Being deaf and partially blind means I don't really watch TV. I wouldn't know what to do with a remote control.

I'm proud of being a vaudevillian, the last of my line. A lot of people think my entertainment is candy-floss. Well, entertainment is too aggressive these days, all 'in your face'.

I had lunch with a chess champion the other day. I knew he was a chess champion because it took him 20 minutes to pass the salt.

It's a very sad day. I've always admired him. Everything he did had a very evocative ring, of something great.

All these old guys, they were exactly the same on stage as off, and they couldn't help being comedians.

There's no family allowance on the first child, you know.
