Hermione Gingold's quotes

(humorously comparing - in a stage revue - Sir Donald Wolfit's old-fashioned and somewhat stereotypical performance as Richard III with Laurence Olivier's): "Olivier is a tour-de-force, and Wolfit is forced to tour".
Really, sex and laughter do go very well together, and I wondered - and I still do - which is more important.
Fighting is essentially a masculine idea; a woman's weapon is her tongue.
[on auditioning for "A Little Night Music"] "I'd played for royalty, but Steve Sondheim and Hal Prince were too much for me. The only one who frightened me more was NoÃ«l Coward."
I had all the schooling any actress needs. I learned enough to sign contracts.
