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?

Judi Dench
The theater is the thing I love doing most.
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.

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
Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.
Judi Dench
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.

I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.
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
People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
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.
