Quote

It's outrageous. It's ridiculous. And 'twas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. It's so annoying.

It's very easy to just shout: 'Off with their heads!' Maybe in doing that you might lose something very valuable. I would like to see the monarchy continue, but in a more democratic fashion.

As an actor, those are the roles that you long for. You always want something that's going to kick your last role out of the water and put you off on a new path.

You write your life story by the choices you make.

Image
Once a film gets into production, the actors sometimes begin to have more input than a writer does.

I think still it is very fine not to want children. There are far too many people in the world. It is my contribution to ecology.

Image
I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.

I believe that if you want to go make your mark on the world you've got to go out and do it. Don't be shy, be adventurous.

I can't help being Christian because I was brought up in Britain, and the morality of Christianity is part of the fabric of this country.

I love that country [Israel].

You could build three hospitals with the cost of one film and I take that very seriously.

I'm not beautiful I clean up nice.

I'm not strong-willed actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.

I met with Hitchcock when I was a very, very young actress just starting out and he was making 'Frenzy' in London and I was sent along to meet with him. He was very, very unimpressed with me and I have to say, I was rather unimpressed with him - but only because I was an arrogant, ignorant young actress.

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.

Humor in a relationship is so important. Many women will say that. Some say, 'If they can make you laugh, it's the sexiest thing on earth.'

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.

Any role that's proactive is a great role, and action roles are by their very nature proactive. You get to do stuff. I hate sitting in a corner - I'd much prefer an action role in a popcorn movie rather than pining in a corner not doing anything.

I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
