I started in London, as a kid. My mother knew I had sort of an inbred talent. She was an actress, so I inherited it from her. But I think I got a lot of it from my grandfather, who was a great politician.

I never regretted what I turned down.

My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.

I can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.

A sitcom. I hate that word.

All I knew how to do was to act. That's the only thing I had in my favor. That was the thing that propelled me forward.
