I don't think anybody can be told how to act. I think you can give advice. But you have to find your own way through it.

It is true that there are few plays of Shakespeare that I haven't done.

I think you've got to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially in this business, and you must not believe things that are said or written about you, because everything gets out of proportion one way or the other.

I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.

I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.

It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.

I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again.
