More quotes by Maggie Smith
I'd done Gosford Park, a film that Julian Fellowes had written that Robert Altman directed.
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
Try not to cry too much because it can be pretty heart-breaking and pretty hard.
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
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 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
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
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 chemotherapy was very peculiar, something that makes you feel much worse than the cancer itself, a very nasty thing. I used to go to treatment on my own, and nearly everybody else was with somebody. I wouldn't have liked that. Why would you want to make anybody sit in those places?
Maggie Smith
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
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
Listen, I must be 110 by now. Granny is going to kick the bucket at some point.
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 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'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
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
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 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
