It wasn't glamorous in my day. In the regions reporters were seen as such low life that they didn't merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.

It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve and the Germans French and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer in German which I never have so I am really excited about that.

I know it's a cliche but I never wanted to be famous. I don't believe anybody wants to be famous.

Who elected Larry King America's grief counselor? We the viewing public did by driving up his ratings whenever somebody famous passes.

I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A. and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is and I ended up making a lot of friends there and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also I think when you're famous its hard to live in a small town.

I would have been very happy just working from job to job paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.

I never pursued being 'famous.'

Whenever you're the child of a famous person you get judged in odd ways because of that.

I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous.

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous and I never dreamt I would be famous.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'

I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.

I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great.

The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don't even have breakfast together.

My mother isolated herself from all family and friends for some 20 years. And never met her grandchild my son.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa even though everyone else did because we didn't have any money because Africa was the 'dark continent' and because I was a girl.
