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.

More quotes by Judi Dench
Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.
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
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
I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.
Judi Dench
Don't think I am going to let Bob Hoskins take all his clothes off and me not take a look? I just had a quick look up and down, like you would.
Judi Dench
Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.
Judi Dench
Everything, every part that you approach has to be somehow rooted in yourself. You have to somehow root everything so that it's not just words coming out of you.
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
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
Judi Dench
It was good to learn so early. They're not going to be kind to you. You have to do it and get on, and then gulp down and get better.
Judi Dench
It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.
Judi Dench
The only real failure is the failure to try.
Judi Dench
People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Judi Dench
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Judi Dench
I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.
Judi Dench
I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.
Judi Dench
I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again.
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
It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.
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
