Judi Dench
Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.
Judi Dench

Judi Dench
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
Judi Dench
I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.
Judi Dench
It is true that there are few plays of Shakespeare that I haven't done.
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 is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.
Judi Dench
