Penelope Wilton

You don't go to a comedy and try to laugh. You laugh in spite of yourself. You don't just come on stage and cry. Something has pushed you to cry.

People in distress behave in a stressful way. They aren't all sweetness and light. They don't behave well when they are unhappy. That's just what I've observed.

It's true, I've become one of those grumpy older women.

I've never lost a grown-up child, but I have known loss.

Some people will never change.
