Patricia Routledge's quotes

• [on acting] I was fully alive and it frightened me. I was in a tremendous turmoil about it.
• There is nothing like that audience response when it's working with you - nothing.
• I don't think you can go it alone. There is a positive force for good outside oneself, call it God if you like, that has the strength to turn darkness into light.
• When I approach the pearly gates, I'd like to hear a champagne cork popping, an orchestra tuning up, and the sound of my mother laughing.
• I just want to do good work with good people in good places. And as for retirement, I can hardly spell the word. I'm driven, really. The demons won't lie down.
• People have always pitied spinsters. We have been derided, as if we had missed out on life. Well, we need not miss out on anything today!
• [on Alastair Sim] There lives and breathes a comic genius of gargantuan proportions.
• [on quitting Keeping Up Appearances (1990)] I decided to part company with Hyacinth because there were other adventures to have. I'm an actor and I like to play other roles.
• [on her damehood] I'm very surprised indeed, but very pleased that the honour pertains to theatre.
