The Timing Of Comedy Is So Difficult.

It Was Not My Destiny, I Kept Thinking It Would Be, Waiting For It To Happen, But It Never Did, And I Didn't Care What People Thought ... It Was Only Boring Old Men Who Would Ask Me. And Whenever They Went, 'what? No Children? Well, You'd Better Get On With It, Old Girl,' I'd Say 'no! F*** Off!'

Americans Are Very Good At Animating Voices. I Don't Know Why. They Have A Freedom With Them That We British Actors Find More Difficult To Get To.

English Actors Feel Vaguely Apologetic For Being There At All. American Actors Know That The Most Important Thing Is To Get One Take Out Of Fifty That Is Great, And They'll Go To Any Length To Get It. The English Are Used To Working Within Consistently Small, Low-budget Things And Think, I Mustn't Waste Their Time.

I Resent Having Witnessed The Survival Of Some Very Mediocre Male Actors And The Professional Demise Of The Very Brilliant Female Ones.

Actors Are Rogues And Vagabonds. Or They Ought To Be.
