It is all down to 'The Two Ronnies.' Those years with Ronnie Barker were the spine of my career.

Ronnie Corbett

Growing up, I was always enthralled by Ronnie Barker. He made my dad howl with laughter, which always intrigued me, and he had the rare gift of being as good a performer as he was a writer.

Dominic Holland

Ronnie Barker will forever be remembered as one of the great comic actors.

John Major

It is possible to have good manners and be funny at the same time. Ronnie Barker and I proved that.

Ronnie Corbett

Ronnie Barker was a straightforward man who had this extraordinary ability to make the nation laugh

Ronnie Barker was a man whom I thought more deserving of a knighthood than me.

David Jason

He was so good at everything he did. You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian. He was an actor, and a great writer.

Bruce Forsyth

People who work in horror know they are contributing to a genre that has always been loved and will always be loved - privately. It's the forbidden evil working behind the curtain. My job scoring a horror movie is like being the barker at a carnival. A good barker can get anyone to walk into the roped-off tent.

Christopher Young

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.

John Cleese

A friend of mine said to me a year ago, "You're so lucky, Nancy, because Ronnie left you the library," She said, "You have that to work on, and to go to, and, in a sense, to be with him." I had never thought of it like that, but it's true. I go to the library or work for the library all the time, because it's Ronnie. I'm working for Ronnie.

Nancy Reagan

For me, the brightest years at IronPort were without a doubt the darkest years at home.

Without doubt, some of the happiest moments of my career have come in a Stoke shirt.

But you see," said Roark quietly, "I have, let’s say, sixty years to live. Most of that time will be spent working. I’ve chosen the work I want to do. If I find no joy in it, then I’m only condemning myself to sixty years of torture. And I can find the joy only if I do my work in the best way possible to me. But the best is a matter of standards—and I set my own standards. I inherit nothing. I stand at the end of no tradition. I may, perhaps, stand at the beginning of one.

Ayn Rand

I certainly treasure the memory and indeed the picture, which still hangs in my house in Scotland, of Ronnie Barker and I with the Choir when we came to Wales to shoot our Welsh choir section of the "Two Ronnies" programme. You are very close to my heart.

Ronnie Corbett

In 2017, I boxed in front of a home crowd in Sheffield and became the WBA super-middleweight world champion. After four attempts I had finally fulfilled my childhood dream, and the experience was as great as I had always imagined it would be. It was without doubt the best moment of my career.

George Groves

I'm not striving for happiness, I'm trying to get some work done. And sometimes the best work is done under doubt. Constantly rethinking and re-evaluating what you're doing, working and working until it's finished.
