More quotes by 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
I had been feeling a little rum. I didn't think it was anything serious because years ago I felt a lump and it was benign. I assumed this would be too. It kind of takes the wind out of your sails, and I don't know what the future holds, if anything.
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
Chris and Toby are far too sane to be upset any more.
Maggie Smith
It's easy to get bogged down in bad news.
Maggie Smith
I like being outside and working with the elements. The elemental aspects of it. The physicality of it.
Maggie Smith
I know there is something out there and like most people, I tend to believe in it more when things go bad.
Maggie Smith
It's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life but there we are.
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
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 think he [Leonardo DiCaprio] is a terrific actor. And I've - I've been rooting and voting for him since Gilbert Grape. I thought he was so amazing in that one. He was a young man, really very young boy.
Maggie Smith
There is a kind of invisible thread between the actor and the audience, and when it's there it's stunning, and there is nothing to match that.
Maggie Smith
I'm not my mother. And so I'm not raising my kids in the same way. I don't respond in the same way. We don't spend our days in the same way because I don't necessarily enjoy the same things she likes to do.
Maggie Smith
I feel now like a hinge between generations, which is strange. It just happened recently. I think it's because my daughter is so much like me at her age. I feel like I'm reliving my own mother's experience of raising me.
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
If someone is going to talk about the process of making a film, it should be the director.
Maggie Smith
There was nobody in the family who had ever done anything like that before. My brothers - I had two brothers. They were twins. They both became architects. They were both six years older.
Maggie Smith
My kids are really learning everything from scratch. It's our job to be their tour guides and camp counselors and orientation people. That's a weird responsibility, especially in a world that feels as good as it feels bad.
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
Try not to cry too much because it can be pretty heart-breaking and pretty hard.
Maggie Smith
