I think he [Leonardo DiCaprio] is a terrific actor. And I've - I've been rooting and voting for him since "Gilbert Grape." I thought he was so amazing in that one. He was a young man, really very young boy.

I'm just glad to get any role... the fact that they're all 90 is neither here nor there! Actually, it was Hook that started it. I think it was Peggy Ashcroft who couldn't do the part and somebody was asked how old was I and would I be able to do the part, and the person replied "92" very quickly. And so I've been stuck ever since! But I'm actually very grateful.

The thing is, often press people ask questions that are so personal that even your nearest and dearest wouldn't ask them.

I believe that I am past my prime. I had reckoned on my prime lasting till I was at least fifty.

We can't escape the shadow, so the best thing we can do is notice the light and be open to it.

I don't think films about elderly people have been made very much.

People think of you differently if you've been in their homes. They think they own you because they watched you while they were eating dinner, or they can turn you up or down, or even freeze you.
