Maggie Smith has a unique sense of comedy, based on a somewhat ironic view of real life, making it both funnier and more sad. But perhaps her greatest ability, or at least the one that most intrigues me, is how she can convey deep and powerful emotion without a trace of sentimentality.

I always loved movies and the cinema we always used to go to see films as a family.
Julian Fellowes
Image
We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it's nice to avoid them.

Image
People tend to view history as if it were another planet and think the modern world was invented in 1963. I don't agree.
Julian Fellowes
Image
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
Julian Fellowes
Image
I just don't believe in generalisations.

Education. Experience. Or are they the same thing?
Julian Fellowes
Image
I think it's always a challenge to adapt something from one medium to another - a novel into a film or a play into a movie or whatever.

Image
School visits are something I do fairly often: I always say to the students that somebody has got to end up with the interesting careers, so why not them?

Image
You never know people, do you? You can work with 'em for twenty years you don't know 'em at all.

Plenty of friendships are sustainable through dinners and lunches, but will not stand a week away. So be careful with whom you go on holiday.

The English country house is certainly an icon of British culture.

Today, people often make the American mistake of confusing acquaintances with friends. The former are there to share life's pleasures only the latter should be invited to share one's problems.

There are many nations that have perfected a particular room. You know, you have the French drawing-room, the Austrian ball room, the German dining room, and I think the library is a room the English get right.
