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.

More quotes by Maggie Smith
It's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life but there we are.
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
My career is chequered. Then I think I got pigeon-holed in humour Shakespeare is not my thing.
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
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
Listen, I must be 110 by now. Granny is going to kick the bucket at some point.
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
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'd done Gosford Park, a film that Julian Fellowes had written that Robert Altman directed.
Maggie Smith
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
Maggie Smith
Try not to cry too much because it can be pretty heart-breaking and pretty hard.
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
Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class.
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
There were male colleges, and there were very few female colleges.
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 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.
