- I did not live near a theatre and it was watching a television production of As You Like It (1963), starring Vanessa Redgrave, that gave me my interest in the stage. But young people these days can't do this as the BBC is not doing these sort of plays. I'm not saying the BBC should do classics for their own sake but they must be a part of the mix.
- [on Paul Scofield] For me he was the most interesting, the most alluring actor of that generation.
- [on John Thaw] He's just effortlessly skilled at what he does.
- [on Princess Margaret] If it weren't for the sharp English upper-class voice, you'd say she looks like a Maltese landlady.
