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
Image
I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.
Judi Dench
Image
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
Image
Work certainly does help fill a void.
Judi Dench
Image
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
Judi Dench
Image
Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.

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
Image
People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.
Judi Dench
Image
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
Image
Every experience that you experience yourself you use, because that's our craft.
Judi Dench
Image
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
Image
I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.
Judi Dench
Image
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
Image
Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.
Judi Dench
Image
It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.
Judi Dench
Image
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
Image
The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?
Judi Dench
Image
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.
