It's one of the oldest theatrical adages: never work with children or animals.

I managed to slip two children out in the middle of my career and have been lucky with all the work.

The big thing that Moneypenny changed was the amount of charity work that I was able to be involved with.

Sometimes I'll work through the crossword sections of three separate papers.

I get so nervous before I go on stage that I can never eat very much, so I'm always completely starving afterwards and dying for a bowl of pasta.

To be able to laugh and to be merciful are the only things that make man better than the beast
