More quotes by 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
Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class.

It made it feel impossible, quite honestly, because filming - you film come rain, come shine, come whatever. And it did rain a lot. And of course, that's what she must have gone through. Of course it rained of course it was cold... But, you know, it really was quite hard to be out there in the rain.
Maggie Smith
Little girls, I am in the business of putting old heads on young shoulders, and all my pupils are the crème de la crème. Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life.
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
I believe that I am past my prime. I had reckoned on my prime lasting till I was at least fifty.

My career is chequered. Then I think I got pigeon-holed in humour Shakespeare is not my thing.
Maggie Smith
I think there's always great tension because there never seems to be enough - there is always pressure. There's always pressure because there isn't enough time. There's never enough time for a movie, it seems to me. Never.
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 were male colleges, and there were very few female colleges.
Maggie Smith
It was - it's always very nice to be somebody rather grand.
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
The thing is, often press people ask questions that are so personal that even your nearest and dearest wouldn't ask them.
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
I know there is something out there and like most people, I tend to believe in it more when things go bad.
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
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
If someone is going to talk about the process of making a film, it should be the director.
Maggie Smith
I tend to head for what's amusing because a lot of things aren't happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything.
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.
