“I once said to someone when I was playing Lady Macbeth and they said: "That's tricky, emotionally, what do you do about murdering your husband's cousin?" And there are, of course, things that aren't in your personal repertoire that you have to somehow understand by reading or watching other things and listening to other people talk about them.” PeopleSaidCoursesReadingListeningHusbandThey SaidCousinTrickyYour HusbandListening To OthersLady Macbeth Author:Judi Dench
“The secret of my success is my mother, who was from Dublin. All my relations are in Dublin or in the west, or as I found out, we went to Rostrevor in Northern Ireland to film and I got out, while they changed cars around, and this man said to me: "You know you have cousins in this town? And they're coming down to see you..." And so they did. I'm sorry we didn't go to a lot more places, so that I could find a lot more cousins. So, that was good. It's entirely because my father was also brought up in Dublin. So, that's my link.” KnowsMenSaidFilmMotherFoundFatherSecretCarChangedRelationTownsWestSorryLinksIrelandI'm SorryCousinDublinNorthern IrelandSecret Of My Success Author:Judi Dench
