I Wanted To Be A Set Designer

I Was In Yorkshire. We Were A Family Of Five And I Used To Be Sent Sometimes To Get The Rations For The Week And Was Easily Able To Carry Them Back. It Was Like One Egg And A Tiny Bit Of Tea.

I'm Always Fearful. … Fear Generates In You A Huge Energy. You Can Use It. When I Feel That Mounting Fear, I Think, 'oh, Yes, There It Is!' It's Like Petrol.

I Once Said To Someone When I Was Playing Lady Macbeth And They Said: "that's Tricky, Emotionally, What Do You Do About Murdering Your Husband's Cousin?" And There Are, Of Course, Things That Aren't In Your Personal Repertoire That You Have To Somehow Understand By Reading Or Watching Other Things And Listening To Other People Talk About Them.

I Would Hate People To Think Bossy Is All I Can Do.

The Only Real Failure Is The Failure To Try.
