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?

If we don't respect the past, we'll find it harder to build a future.

I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time.
Julian Fellowes
Image
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.

What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.

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.

Image
If you're in the movie or in television, your failures are very public, and so are your successes. You weigh them up against each other, really.
