More quotes by 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 only real failure is the failure to try.
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
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
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
People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
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'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
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
Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.
Judi Dench
I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.
Judi Dench
It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.
Judi Dench
I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.
Judi Dench
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
Judi Dench
Work certainly does help fill a void.
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
Every experience that you experience yourself you use, because that's our craft.
Judi Dench
Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.
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
