“I think you’ve got to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially in this business, and you must not believe things that are said or written about you, because everything gets out of proportion one way or the other……..Some things you know about, you know what the ingredients are – maybe not all of them. But it’s up to you to put in the amount. It’s up to the director to nag you until you get it right……..I’d rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me…….I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself – that is the best combination.” -Judi Dench
