I mean, everyone says Citizen Kane. It isn't that great, anyway. And Orson Welles I knew well, of course. He made other incredible films that no one would let him make, which were much better than Citizen Kane, really.

I was absolutely delighted that those shows have been preserved.

Well, you know, I was through the whole of the Second World War and saw all my friends killed.

I was producing a series about Sir Winston Churchill, about which I was extremely proud, and earning a lot of money as a producer.

The radio even weren't allowed to say there was a Holocaust and people were being killed right, left and center in these terrible camps.

So I find the fascination, the love, the incredible skill and everything to do with acting, writing plays, and doing them, just darling. Lovely. I love actors.

Accomplishment is such a patronizing, dangerous word, isn't it? I haven't really accomplished anything. The most accomplished thing I've done is to have lived this long - 81.
