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.

More quotes by 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 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 don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.
Judi Dench
Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.
Judi Dench
I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.
Judi Dench
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.
Judi Dench
The theater is the thing I love doing most.
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
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
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
Filming is completely - was totally new to me ... I had a movie career which wasn't supposed to be, so I couldn't be more thrilled. For those who work, parts seem to get more interesting.
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
Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.
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
Every experience that you experience yourself you use, because that's our craft.
Judi Dench
People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.
Judi Dench
I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.
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
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
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
