I once said to someone when I was playing Lady Macbeth and they said: That's tricky, emotionally, what do you do about murdering your husband's cousin?

Judi Dench
It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.
Judi Dench
The only real failure is the failure to try.
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
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
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
Judi Dench
Work certainly does help fill a void.
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
I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.
Judi Dench
