"My life, it's slipping away and I can feel it and I should," Sir Billy will say in the documentary airing on Friday, according to the Daily Mirror.
"I'm 75, I'm near the end. I'm a damn sight nearer the end than I am the beginning.
"But it doesn't frighten me, it's an adventure and it is quite interesting to see myself slipping away."
He continues: "As bits slip off and leave me, talents leave and attributes leave.
"I don't have the balance I used to have, I don't have the energy I used to have.
"I can't hear the way I used to hear, I can't see as good as I used to. I can't remember the way I used to remember.
"And they all came one at a time and they just slipped away, thank you.
"It is like somebody is in charge of you and they are saying 'right, I added all these bits when you were a youth, now it is time to subtract'."
Speaking about the disease, he says: "It takes a certain calm to deal with, and I sometimes don't have it. I sometimes get angry with it, but that doesn't last long, I just collapse in laughter."
