Zitat des Tages von Diana Rigg:
I made a bit of a stink. At the time, it was considered very bad form.
If you have a good inner life, you don't get lonely. I've got a good imagination. I don't miss romance.
I was nourished and nurtured at Stratford as a very young actress. They guided me and forgave me!
Television has taught me an economy of style I didn't have before. I feel it has done me nothing but good.
I think I'm a mousepad. I don't want to be a mousepad, but I'm a mousepad. I'm also a screen saver, thank you very much. It's weird.
I don't mean to be oily, but critics are very much part of the theatre.
I'm so lucky. I could be sitting at home crumbling, but I'm not.
The older you get, I have to say, the funnier you find life. That's the only way to go.
You'll always be close to somebody that you worked with very intimately for so long, and you become really fond of each other.
I've always been on the side of fully emancipated women with independent minds.
I rely upon the directors to fill me in before a shot.
In the old days, a star was someone up there - you know, Greta Garbo - but a telly star was somebody you could approach.
I confess I do a lot of the wrong things: I smoke, and I drink wine, and people might be horrified at my eating habits - I eat when I'm hungry, and if I'm not, I don't.
I step into a character in my public life. People who don't make that distinction are dooooomed.
If it were said that I didn't fulfil my potential as a mother and wife, I'd be heartbroken. But if it were said that I hadn't fulfilled my potential as an actress, I would understand the reasons why.
These days, it's perfectly normal to move between the theatre and television.
Yes, well, you are quite camp, so I guess that he could see the point of you.
Tabloid newspapers are very rich and hold huge funds to fight claims.
We depend on the critics to give us a glimpse of what happened. Bernard Shaw championed Ibsen, who got the most terrible notices for his plays. Kenneth Tynan championed young writers, and as a result, the theatre has changed radically.
I'm portrayed as this tough broad, but I'm not.
I've been single forever, and, oh God, I love every minute of it. I don't wish to sound offensive, and it always does when women say that, doesn't it?
I cry all the time. Remembrance Day in particular. In fact, anything to do with veterans makes me sob.
I would head to the countryside for peace and silence. That would be the best way, away from panicked, hysterical people.
I hope there's a tinge of disgrace about me. Hopefully, there's one good scandal left in me yet.
I read prodigiously as a child, and I still do.
They do say that the profession gets increasingly difficult, but my career seems to have been inside out.
I didn't know what to do with the fan mail. I had a little mini, and I used to put it at the back of my mini, and it grew and grew.
There is a life after being at the pinnacle of your beauty. Plenty of life and fun.
I'm an old bag for the most part on 'Game Of Thrones', so it's so lovely to be glamorous - as glamorous as you can be at my age!
I never get lonely; even as a child, I didn't.
I never relied on my beauty for anything. It was one of those things that was inevitable; you have a bit of philosophy about it. I didn't go into mourning.
They do say that the profession gets increasingly difficult, but my career seems to have been inside out. I'm playing the biggest parts now that I'm older. That's probably right, because I wasn't ready for them before.
It may be a masculine attitude to take lovers, but it's definitely prevalent. I'm certainly not the oldest person doing it - not that I'm doing it right now, but when I was.
George Lazenby was ill-equipped. It's not for nothing that they didn't offer him any sequels.
I'm really grateful for 'Game of Thrones'. It's something wonderful to happen to an actress of my age, and Dubrovnik is astonishingly beautiful.
It would be nice if they didn't make me get up at 5 A.M. for a 12-hour day. My caravan is never big enough to lie down. There is no little doze. You are knackered by the time you get home. Knackered.
