| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | [on playing Madame Armfeldt in "A Little Night Music in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, in 2010, some 15 years after first playing the role in London]: Fifteen years later the idea of mortality isn't as academic. The part is short, but quite tricky technically. There's never time to build. You have to come on and hit the right note in each scene precisely. And you have to figure out who she is. She has grand style, and also such spite and venom. She's so successful, so glittering and hard, but then at the end she wonders if she played everything wrong. I don't think I got all that the first time. |
| 2 | Upon receiving her C.B.E. in 2000, "I still have a very heavy schedule. I haven't been off the stage for the last seven years - and at weekends, I appear in cabaret." |
