Zoë Wanamaker's quotes
- I don't have the confidence to be a personality.
- Although actually American - "When in America, I feel British, and proud of it!"
- On not having children: "And children? 'I don't have any regrets about not having had children. What's the point? It's just something else to beat yourself up over."
- [Arthur Miller's "All My Sons"] starts quietly, and then just builds. It's just genius writing. You can turn this play on a sixpence! There's so much guilt in it, it's quite Greek - Man or god makes a mistake and it keeps coming back to haunt us.
- It's wonderful that a show that's so normal could go on for so long. It's not cutting-edge, but it has still struck a chord, because everyone can sit down and watch it without being offended. It's gentle, warm and loving. (On My Family (2000))
- Learning the scripts is agony. Robert Lindsay is very fast. He seems to have a genuinely photographic memory, which is very irritating!
