Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said: "I shall just keep at it as long as the legs and the lungs and the mind keep working. "It's emotionally that I've got some residue that I've got to deal with… I think there's something inside me that has to be calmed down. But I'm feeling fine." He said: "I was playing Falstaff, who is a fat man, and I wore a fat suit to make me look fat — padded you see — no problem with ribs or my hips."He recalled: "I said to myself as I slid off the stage, 'This is the end.' Apparently, I shouted out, 'My neck is broken, I'm dying.' I don't remember saying that. So there was a lot going on in my head.The veteran actor recently admitted he has "relived the fall" numerous times since it happened.
