Quotes

#Quote
1[on For Your Eyes Only (1981)] It was fantastic, I got £500 for my first week - twice what I'd been earning.
2Isla [Isla Blair] and I always give each other gifts on our first nights.
3Jamie [Jamie Glover] gave me a fabulous glass engraved with the Glover family crest for my 50th birthday. I was thrilled. Then I got a message from a film producer asking to talk to me, and as I leapt to my feet I knocked the glass over. It broke - and I didn't get the role either!
4Isla [Isla Blair] always wanted a daughter, which sadly I wasn't able to give her. Then, when our only son Jamie's marriage broke up, Isla thought she'd never have grandchildren. She didn't complain, but it was very sad for her. But Jamie, who's 43 now, found a new partner and we now have two wonderful granddaughters.
5[on Jamie Glover] He's the apple of our eye. He's a fine actor, but he's starting to turn down acting work because he's about to become a director.
6I started with the RSC in 1957 with the likes of Olivier [Laurence Olivier] and Peggy Ashcroft and I've been in many plays, TV shows and movies over the years but I've never made enough money, so retiring now I'm 78 is not an option.
