I don't think TV is for me any more - it has changed, it's formulaic and there are only certain people who are regarded as ratings people.
[on Coronation Street (1960)] You've got to remember always what it felt like when it first burst onto the screen - nobody on television spoke like us.
[on being made a Dame] I am proud to be honoured by the Queen and country that I love, for doing the work that I love.
