The veteran UK broadcaster was often asked to reflect on his fulfilling career.
"But now I stand at the top of the stairs, and I think 'this could end tomorrow'. And it's a wonderful feeling, because there you really enjoy the moment, you go, and you savour it."
He said it was the worst thing to ever happen to him observing someone he loved so much become "lost"."I want a pill. I want a pill of some sort." "The rest of it doesn't matter, if a family is full of love, then it exists. And it doesn't need money or anything like that to make it good or solid.And when asked what he would say to God if he ever "faced him or her at the gates", he had only one question in mind.In one of his later appearances on 7.30, Leigh Sales asked him how going through a cancer illness changed him."I couldn't tell you how, but I think it brings out the best and the worst in you, really.
