Judi Dench Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Judi Dench:

In the theatre you can change things ever so slightly; it's an organic thing. Whereas in film you only have that chance on the day, and you have no control over it at all.

Seriously, though, I think I never ceased to be grateful of the fact that I am able to do a job that I really love - I never got over that.

Judi Dench

Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.

Judi Dench

I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.

Judi Dench

I can't read scripts any more because of the trouble with my eyes.

Judi Dench

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.

Judi Dench

The Lord Chamberlin was censoring scripts when I first came into the theater.

Judi Dench

The theater is the thing I love doing most.

Judi Dench

Since Michael died I think I've worked constantly. Friends and colleagues are very sustaining. They're the people who get you through it... It's no good to be on your own.

Judi Dench

I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.

Judi Dench

It was good to learn so early. They're not going to be kind to you. You have to do it and get on, and then gulp down and get better.

Judi Dench

I need to learn every day.

Judi Dench

I work out the other bits, too, but I need to know what I look like, very early on. And then it's like a template; I'll fill that person out. If I get that out of the way, then I'm all right.

Judi Dench

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.

Judi Dench

I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.

Judi Dench

I've figured out what to do so far, but it's always the next thing you come to where the man with the bucket of ice cold water is waiting - whoosh! in your face. That's why you work with directors who know what to tell you to do.

Judi Dench

I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.

Judi Dench

People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Judi Dench

I was in Yorkshire. We were a family of five and I used to be sent sometimes to get the rations for the week and I was easily able to carry them back. It was like one egg and a tiny bit of tea.

Judi Dench

There are very few things that surprise me.

Judi Dench

Because, you know, I can't work a bicycle pump.

Judi Dench

I love being part of a company, and telling a story.

Judi Dench

I am so thrilled to be nominated for something I loved working on every single day.

Judi Dench

It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it.

Judi Dench

I trained as a designer, so I'm always terribly keen about what I'm going to look like.

Judi Dench

People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.

Judi Dench

It actually was a complete departure having a woman playing M. I didn't realize at the time that it would be so noticed.

Judi Dench

And then it was working with Bob Hoskins, who I had never worked with before - except radio. It was like being given a wonderful meal - full of the things you love most.

Judi Dench

The difficulty with any sort of esteem is that more is expected of you.

Judi Dench

Work certainly does help fill a void.

Judi Dench

I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.

Judi Dench

I wanted to be a set designer when I was young.

Judi Dench

In the theatre you can change things ever so slightly; it's an organic thing. Whereas in film you only have that chance on the day, and you have no control over it at all.

Judi Dench

I would hate people to think bossy is all I can do.
