More quotes by Judi Dench
Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.
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
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
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
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Judi Dench
It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to 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
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

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 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
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
People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Judi Dench
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
Judi Dench
It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.
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
The Lord Chamberlin was censoring scripts when I first came into the theater.
Judi Dench
Work certainly does help fill a void.
Judi Dench
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
Judi Dench
