Oh, I think a little posterity must always be nice, After I'm dead I'll probably be a cult and they'll have entire seasons of me at the National Film… - Wendy Hiller

Thinking back, I don't know how I had the courage. That's one of the unkindest things nature does; it takes away your courage.

I didn't appreciate it at the time, When you're young, you're stupid. If someone had said to me, Will you play Saint Joan"l with six rehearsals? and then halfway across the Atlantic came the cable, Would I play Pygmalion as well?, I mean I'd have a sort of nervous collapse now. Then, I didn't.

I sometimes think to myself, in the middle of doing G.B.S., What on Earth am I doing? It's not like acting another writer's words.
