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
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 know there is something out there and like most people, I tend to believe in it more when things go bad.
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
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.

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
My career is chequered. Then I think I got pigeon-holed in humour Shakespeare is not my thing.
Maggie Smith
There were male colleges, and there were very few female colleges.
Maggie Smith
Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class.
Maggie Smith
Chris and Toby are far too sane to be upset any more.
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
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
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
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
Listen, I must be 110 by now. Granny is going to kick the bucket at some point.
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.
