[on working with Joan Crawford on Berserk (1967)] "Joan Crawford said she was lonely, and I could see and feel that she was. She wasn't easy, but I think Berserk (1967) was hard on her precisely because it *was* a B-movie. And there was something very likable about her - after all, when people show their vulnerabilities, it's hard not to forgive them for other things"

When you act a scene with Sidney Poitier he listens intently to every word you say. You can feel your words hit him. He makes the scene utterly real.

Oh, I loved John Wayne. He was just so charming and easy to work with. Although we shot the film (Brannigan (1975)) in London, it was like making an American movie just because you were working with John Wayne. It was very funny to see the look on people's faces when we were filming. We'd pull up in a car on a London street, and you'd see these people looking at him, and they must have been thinking, 'That man looks just like John Wayne. But, oh, it can't be.' I think he got a kick out of that.

I'm not sure how other people of my generation look back on that time (when she acted in To Sir, with Love (1967)), but since I trained at a professional stage school, if you took yourself too seriously, or started to think you were better than anybody else, you just got the shit beaten out of you.
