Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

A lucky thing Eva Peron was. She died at 32. I'm already 45.

I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't.

I'm not a film star; I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.

My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.

I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.

Scarlett: You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless. Rhett: You helpless? (laughs) Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you.

I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things. I am a very impatient person and headstrong. If I've made up my mind to do something, I can't be persuaded out of it.

But I remember the morning after The Mask of Virtue-which is the first play I did at the West End-that some critics saw fit to be as foolish as to say that I was a great actress. And I thought, that was a foolish, wicked thing to say, because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry. And it took me years to learn enough to live up to what they said-for those first notices. I find it so stupid. I remember the critic very well, and have never forgiven him.
