I Get Sillier As I Get Older,

I Work Out The Other Bits, Too, But I Need To Know What I Look Like, Very Early On. And Then It's Like A Template; I'll Fill That Person Out. If I Get That Out Of The Way, Then I'm All Right.

The Only Real Failure Is The Failure To Try.

I Felt Quite A Responsibility When I Played Elizabeth I But Nobody Here Remembers Her! And Then I Felt A Responsibility When I Played Queen Victoria But Not Many People Remember Her.

The Theater Is The Thing I Love Doing Most.

I Once Said To Someone When I Was Playing Lady Macbeth And They Said: "that's Tricky, Emotionally, What Do You Do About Murdering Your Husband's Cousin?" And There Are, Of Course, Things That Aren't In Your Personal Repertoire That You Have To Somehow Understand By Reading Or Watching Other Things And Listening To Other People Talk About Them.
