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.

More quotes by Judi Dench
It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.
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
Some things you know about, you know what the ingredients are - maybe not all of them. But it's up to you to put in the amount. It's up to the director to nag you until you get it right.
Judi Dench
It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.
Judi Dench
I get sillier as I get older, so I don't know what wisdom means. I can only pass on something that I've been acquainted with and let whomever it is pick the bones out of it
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
We know about the issue of children being sold and adopted and taken away but what is so extraordinary is how these two people come through something like - how both of them do, in actual fact. I think that she's one of the most considerable people I've ever met, Philomena.
Judi Dench
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Judi Dench
It is true that there are few plays of Shakespeare that I haven't done.
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.
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
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
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 have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.
Judi Dench
People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.
Judi Dench
Every experience that you experience yourself you use, because that's our craft.
Judi Dench
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
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
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
Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.
Judi Dench
