It's True I Don't Tolerate

When You Get Into The Granny Era, You're Lucky To Get Anything.

Sort Of What You Do In Drama School When Asked To Play Something Way Out Of Your Reach. Anyway, We Used To Laugh A Lot About That. I Used To Say I'm Not Going To Act Old, Penelope. I'll Just Be Myself.

Little Girls, I Am In The Business Of Putting Old Heads On Young Shoulders, And All My Pupils Are The Crème De La Crème. Give Me A Girl At An Impressionable Age And She Is Mine For Life.

I'm Just Glad To Get Any Role... The Fact That They're All 90 Is Neither Here Nor There! Actually, It Was Hook That Started It. I Think It Was Peggy Ashcroft Who Couldn't Do The Part And Somebody Was Asked How Old Was I And Would I Be Able To Do The Part, And The Person Replied "92" Very Quickly. And So I've Been Stuck Ever Since! But I'm Actually Very Grateful.

I'm Not My Mother. And So I'm Not Raising My Kids In The Same Way. I Don't Respond In The Same Way. We Don't Spend Our Days In The Same Way Because I Don't Necessarily Enjoy The Same Things She Likes To Do.
