My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.

Every single night I'm nervous.

I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.

I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants.

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.

Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.
