“I love my children but it was a lot of work.”

“A little girl once wrote to me saying she was coming to live with me - because Dot always stuck up for her son.”

“An actor needs his voice.”

“I could have played Dot as a very dreary woman with a list of illnesses, but I played her with an edge, so it was funny.”

“I can't afford to retire.”

“I was taught at my drama school that it's not what you feel, it's what you make the audience feel.”

“I don't bother with computers, although I have an electronic reader.”

“Sometimes I'll feel down and realise it's because of a depressing plot.”
