More quotes by Judi Dench
In the theatre you can change things ever so slightly it's an organic thing. Whereas in film you only have that chance on the day, and you have no control over it at all.
Judi Dench
Children have become disengaged from nature and we need to reintroduce them to the pleasure that it brings. If we do that they will care for it. Through the simple act of planting a tree we can open their eyes to nature's beauty.
Judi Dench
I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.
Judi Dench
I work out the other bits, too, but I need to know what I look like, very early on. And then it's like a template I'll fill that person out. If I get that out of the way, then I'm all right.
Judi Dench
I have a completely new knee. It's brilliant. I am not feeling my age at all. I feel about 43, a willowy blonde 43 years old with long legs.
Judi Dench
I'm always fearful. … Fear generates in you a huge energy. You can use it. When I feel that mounting fear, I think, 'Oh, yes, there it is!' It's like petrol.
Judi Dench
Filming is completely - was totally new to me ... I had a movie career which wasn't supposed to be, so I couldn't be more thrilled. For those who work, parts seem to get more interesting.
Judi Dench
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
Judi Dench
I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.
Judi Dench
I think you can teach people a technique - you can teach them how to use their voices, how to breathe properly, how to move their limbs a certain way. But to actually explain how one performs comedy or drama or tragedy isn't the same as the movements one makes.
Judi Dench
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Judi Dench
I was in Yorkshire. We were a family of five and I used to be sent sometimes to get the rations for the week and was easily able to carry them back. It was like one egg and a tiny bit of tea.
Judi Dench
The Lord Chamberlin was censoring scripts when I first came into the theater.
Judi Dench
I once said to someone when I was playing Lady Macbeth and they said: That's tricky, emotionally, what do you do about murdering your husband's cousin? And there are, of course, things that aren't in your personal repertoire that you have to somehow understand by reading or watching other things and listening to other people talk about them.
Judi Dench
It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.
Judi Dench
I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.
Judi Dench
The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?
Judi Dench
The need for a global structure of control in the form of a world environment court is now more urgent than ever before.
Judi Dench
People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Judi Dench
I started off as a theatre designer, and by some extraordinary circumstance I saw something in Stratford-upon-Avon, and realized that that's the kind of design I want, but also that that's the kind of designer I'll never be.
