More quotes by Vanessa Redgrave
Integrity is so perishable in the summer months of success.
Vanessa Redgrave
We will always want films ... that basically are centred on young people, because young people is the way we live on, we older people, insofar as we live on.
Vanessa Redgrave
I've opened my mouth on a lot of subjects. And I thought the more prestige you get, I'd have the power to do what I like. It's not true.
Vanessa Redgrave
You can't do what you've been asked to do unless you do the best you can. And roughly speaking, the best you can do is to be very available as a character and actor to the people you're acting with. That's equally important, whether the camera's on the other person or on you.

Theater and poetry were what helped people stay alive and want to go on living.
Vanessa Redgrave
One must never comment as an actor, never show that a character is shallow or vindictive, but let that be conveyed. I mean, none of us thinks of ourselves as being vindictive or shallow - perhaps we should.
Vanessa Redgrave
When somebody can't reveal what they're after - whether by word or by how the camera is set up, lighting, etcetera - it's like an electronic beep beep it interferes very much with what we actors can do. And, after all, the director wants the actors to be bringing forth the best that they can, according to whatever vision he has.
Vanessa Redgrave
I was surprised when I was asked to play Miss Daisy and wondered if I could - only in part because she was Jewish but, also because she was a Southern woman who has hardly opened her mouth before she declares she's not prejudiced, and yet everything she does shows how totally prejudiced she is.
Vanessa Redgrave
As a mother you have got to have a view for now and a view for the future.
Vanessa Redgrave
A deeper truth the camera can see can be more surprising than even the director imagined it could be. That's a wonderful thing that grows and happens in films.
