"When I was young, I had such a vision of myself; I dreamt I'd be someone to be reckoned with in the world. But one learns one's scale. I have such a dread of ending my days alone."
- Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal 

"The secret to acting is speaking the lines as though you've never thought of them before. On the 17th take."
- Dame Judi Dench
