If the movie is terrible you can have fun. You can joke about it and have a ball. The movie is already sort of established as a kind of extraordinary piece of work even though it hasn't opened yet to the public. It is harder because you can't go against it and you can't be interesting. You have to go with the flow. Although one is very happy to be in it, it is sort of hard to talk about it. It is hard to talk about successful. It is much easier to talk about failure.

I don't want death to suddenly interrupt what I'm doing. I don't like the idea of death at all.

In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.

You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all my life?

I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.

I just can't tell you what fun I've had being a member of the world's second oldest profession.
