More quotes by 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 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 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
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
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
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
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.
Judi Dench
Every experience that you experience yourself you use, because that's our craft.
Judi Dench
I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.
Judi Dench
Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.
Judi Dench
People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.
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
The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?
Judi Dench
The theater is the thing I love doing most.
Judi Dench
It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.
Judi Dench
I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.
Judi Dench
The Lord Chamberlin was censoring scripts when I first came into the theater.
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
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
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Judi Dench
