- [in 2003, about Kenneth Williams] He was the one person I was nervous of meeting. I took one look at him and I thought, "Oh my goodness", but if he liked you you were OK.
- [in 2003, about Sidney James] I played Sid's daughter for seven years in Bless This House (1971) and it was halfway through the series that Sid asked me to appear in one of the "Carry On" movies. I was so glad Sid was there because I was very nervous.
- [about L'Ile en folie (1972), where most of the film's scenes were shot] The whole film seemed to be filmed in the Pinewood car park. We never went any further!
- [in 2003, about L'Ile en folie (1972).] One of the reasons why we looked so natural is because we had so little rehearsal. Everything is spontaneous . . . It was very rare that you did it again.
