Anne Reid's quotes

I still just love acting! Most of us agree it's like a child's game, really; doesn't seem like a serious job at all. I love doing comedy.
[on being awarded the MBE in June 2010] Thrilled and delighted and amazed.
I don't trust journalists as far as I can throw them. My family were all in newspapers.
As you get older the phone stops ringing, which is inevitable because people stop asking for you.
Newspapers are much more intrusive today. People discuss their intimate sex lives in detail. I wouldn't. Well, I have nothing to talk about.
I don't want to be immodest, but I'm pretty versatile - I can do comedy as well as drama. A teacher at RADA told me I'd have difficulty because I don't fit into a particular slot.
Acting is enormous fun. I work extremely hard, but I'm not going to sit here and be solemn. It's a weird way to earn a living. None of us are grown-up.
I'd rather have an an Oscar and a million pounds than be a dame.
I love comfort television beautifully done - Poirot [Poirot (1989)], Foyle's War (2002), Miss Marple [Marple (2004)].
Theatre is nerve-racking, but you have to put yourself through it, like training for an athlete. It sorts out the men from the boys.
Friends think I'm insane doing a cabaret show of stories and songs about my life, but I've talked about it for 30 years.
Singing makes me feel good even though I don't have a great voice.
Some people thought I regretted being in Coronation Street (1960). I didn't, but it became tedious when the show was all anyone wanted to talk about because it was so famous. I haven't seen it for years. I don't watch soaps.
I love to socialise, but also to be on my own. I don't think I've ever been lonely. I sit and think - there's always something going on in my head - or play my piano.
