Now that cleverness was the fashion most people were clever – even perfect fools; and cleverness after all was often only a bore: all head and no body.

When people don&#39;t want to come, nothing will stop them.

To get back one’s youth, one has merely to repeat one’s follies.

Being a secretary was considered a very good job in those days.

I&#39;ve done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.

It&#39;s the same as any role and I find that you can&#39;t lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.

I think behind closed doors people behave differently no matter what period we&#39;re looking at, because people have to stand up straight in public but can slouch behind closed doors - can you imagine wearing those corsets?
