It's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life but there we are.

The last couple of years have been a write-off, though I'm beginning to feel like a person now. My energy is coming back.

I'm hopeless - all I know is that time is going past so fast.

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.

I said 'It can't go on' and he said 'No, it can't.' Honestly, I don't think I could have mattered less to him by then. But by then, nothing mattered to him.

There were male colleges, and there were very few female colleges.

Theres a difference between solitude and loneliness
