Quotes

• “I was afraid that if I went to Hollywood, I might be faced with the danger of being built up into a player who always features in the same kind of roles.”
• “I sometimes think to myself, in the middle of doing G.B.S., What on Earth am I doing? It's not like acting another writer's words.”
• “I just thought I’d always wanted to show off; quite honestly, acting is showing off.”
• “Thinking back, I don't know how I had the courage. That's one of the unkindest things nature does; it takes away your courage.”
• “Oh, I think a little posterity must always be nice, After I'm dead I'll probably be a cult and they'll have entire seasons of me at the National Film Theatre. Thank God I won't have to watch them all.”
• “I didn't appreciate it at the time, When you're young, you're stupid. If someone had said to me, Will you play Saint Joan"l with six rehearsals? and then halfway across the Atlantic came the cable, Would I play Pygmalion as well?, I mean I'd have a sort of nervous collapse now. Then, I didn't.”
