We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it's nice to avoid them.

Sometimes it is quite surprising, the emotional intensity of it. I was in NY one day, in Barnes and Noble, and I could see this woman following me around and after a bit I stopped and said 'Hello' and she just looked at me and said: “PLEASE LET EDITH BE HAPPY!”

What's difficult for American audiences is that they're used to a system here where you can get an actor for five years or even seven, and that is signed for at the audition. Whereas in England, no agent will give you an actor for more than three years.

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.

If there's one thing I don't look for in a maid, it's discretion. Except with my own secrets, of course.

People tend to view history as if it were another planet and think the modern world was invented in 1963. I don't agree.

Education. Experience. Or are they the same thing?

Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.

The moment I was introduced to my wife, Emma, at a party I thought, here she is - and 20 minutes later I told her she ought to marry me. She thought I was as mad as a rat. She wouldn't even give me her telephone number - and she wrote in her diary: A funny little man asked me to marry him.

Leave three Englishmen in a room and they will invent a rule that prevents a fourth joining them.

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?

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.
