Quotes
- “Parkinson: [From his introduction, quoting a theatre critic] She is especially telling in projecting sluttish eroticism.”
- “Parkinson: You are, in quotes, a serious actress [makes air quote fingers]Helen Mirren: In quotes? [...] What do you mean in quotes? How dare you.Parkinson: Serious actress [...] as opposed to an unserious actress.”
- “Parkinson: Do you find it to be fact that, what could be best described as your equipment [...] hinders you in that pursuit [of being considered a serious actress]?Helen Mirren: I'd like you to explain what you mean by my equipment in greater detail.Parkinson: Your physical attributes.Mirren: You mean my fingers?”
- “I happen to be a male chauvinist pig who loves women and enjoys flirting with women.I also think a lot of women watch the show but not for my bedroom eyes.”
- “This accusation that I was 'soft' implies that you get more out of people by being aggressive. But the people I interview aren't criminals or child molesters, so why on earth should I act like an interrogator? [...] I relax the guests, I am a great listener.”
- “[On the 1975 Mirren interview] I don't want to [apologise]. Nor does she. I don’t regard what happened there as being anything other than good television. [...] There is no need to apologise, not at all. She didn't want to do an interview and after about 10 minutes, I didn't want to interview her. There's no problem, it's not World War III for God’s sake.”
