More quotes by Maggie Smith
The thing is, often press people ask questions that are so personal that even your nearest and dearest wouldn't ask them.
Maggie Smith
Which is strange - I've always thought of myself as someone who writes out of difficulty. And I did do that, but I came out on the side of light more often than not.
Maggie Smith
I said 'It can't go on' and he said 'No, it can't.' Honestly, I don't think I could have mattered less to him by then. But by then, nothing mattered to him.
Maggie Smith
I'm far, far, far from that. But of course, that's one of the joys of acting is that you can move up in the world, even if - you know, in the characters that you're playing, even if you don't.
Maggie Smith
I believe that I am past my prime. I had reckoned on my prime lasting till I was at least fifty.
Maggie Smith
I am just surprised to be doing anything at my age actually. When you think of where I am now and where I've come from, I am very pleased and very grateful to be standing up and delivering Julian's great lines.
Maggie Smith
It's easy to get bogged down in bad news.
Maggie Smith
My career is chequered. Then I think I got pigeon-holed in humour Shakespeare is not my thing.
Maggie Smith

Maggie Smith
It's true I don't tolerate fools but then they don't tolerate me, so I am spiky. Maybe that's why I'm quite good at playing spiky elderly ladies.
Maggie Smith
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
Maggie Smith
The drama school was in Oxford - and it's funny to think of it, but in those days when I started out the University was nearly all male. And they certainly weren't mixed.
Maggie Smith
It's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life but there we are.
Maggie Smith
It was - it's always very nice to be somebody rather grand.
Maggie Smith
I don't think films about elderly people have been made very much. I think of Cocoon and Driving Miss Daisy. But they always seem to be fairly successful, so it's a bit baffling as to why everybody has to be treated as if they were five-years-old.
Maggie Smith
I'd done Gosford Park, a film that Julian Fellowes had written that Robert Altman directed.
Maggie Smith
I like being outside and working with the elements. The elemental aspects of it. The physicality of it.
Maggie Smith
I just did adore Daniel - Daniel Radcliffe, who I had worked with before Harry Potter and spent a long time telling all the producers they had to see him because I thought he was so terrific. And it's been sad thinking about it because of Alan Rickman.
Maggie Smith
Chris and Toby are far too sane to be upset any more.
Maggie Smith
There were male colleges, and there were very few female colleges.
