Sometimes the producer has more say and the director takes what he is given. On other occasions, you don't see the producer very much and the director is the one who it is all about.

I would loathe to work on modern films.

I did a film called Dracula and it was very nice because I had lots of trips to New York on Concorde.

Richard Chamberlain on The Slipper and the Rose was lovely to work with. He wore the clothes so beautifully and sang his songs so well.

I liked Live and Let Die, where money was no object.

I saw a very good Hollywood film the other day. It was about Cole Porter.

That's another thing about today's stars that makes me glad that I'm not doing it any more. The stars come with ten people all around them. I don't know how you ever make any personal contact with them.

But with period clothes, people know less so they accept the pretty drawing that I give them.

I didn't know whether I wanted to be an actress or a singer then.

There are wonderful museums with lots of photographs of 1920's musicals.

When you look at Darling and the Oscars, it has to be luck. It was a black and white film and it was the last time that there was a black and white Oscar.

Sometimes the producer has more say and the director takes what he is given. On other occasions, you don't see the producer very much and the director is the one who it is all about.

I don't understand what modern clothes are about at all.

A lot of it, as it is in any job in life, is being in the right place at the right time.

I have to go back to my younger days, when I just adored Hollywood musicals.

John Schlesinger had one of his friends designing it and he had never done a film before. Ten days before it started, they didn't have any costumes. I was rung up and joined up.

I find shoestrings very hard work. I like big budgets.

I don't know much about football but everyone seems to say that it is all about possession.

With the black and white films, one was concerned with tone.

You are lucky that I can't sing tonight because I might get carried away.

God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play. It's a way of expressing our humanity.

The actors nowadays, both young men and young ladies, don't always wear their period clothes as well as they might. They tend to stomp around a bit in them.

I got the boot once from Stanley Donen. The film was called The Little Prince.

I liked The Slipper and the Rose, as I have already mentioned, because it was such a lovely film to do.

I fell in love with Dorset and ended up living there for a while.

You had to make sure that the tone of your dress was not the same tone as the curtains, for instance.

It's nice when you work with someone who has an eye for clothes and will show what you've given them.

I really have a generation gap about modern clothes.

On the speech day, the production designer, who has a lot of say in things, and sometimes I didn't agree with him but I had to do what I was told, wanted the speech day to be all in neutral colours for the women, which was a good thing.

I wish we did have responsibility for the hair. I have been screwed up by the hair on many occasions.

I like doing as many special effects in camera, as much as possible.

I do not believe that people should steal music, but I think that fans need a better alternative, hence why I am such a fan of Apple, where you can simply buy a song for $0.99; it is very easy, it is a value-packed service... and this is a result of the shakeup... something has to happen in the music industry.

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.

Every project is a new challenge for an actor. If it's not, it's boring.

I've gone to skin doctors and they'll say to you, 'We should remove this because it's pre-cancerous,' and I'll say, 'Explain pre-cancerous to me.' I'll listen for about twenty minutes and I'll say excuse me, 'Is pre-cancerous like pre-dead? So you're saying it could turn into cancer but it's not cancer?'

I got good grades in math, but I never really enjoyed it. My favorite part of math was algebra, but geometry was the worst.

I am powerful.

Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.

My coach, Liang Chow, had one rule while I was training for the 2008 Olympics: no skiing. I could do anything I wanted outside the gym, he said, except ski.

The entire time I was modeling, I was trying and failing at businesses. In fact, we would have started our business much sooner had I been more successful.

Before Katrina, it was a longstanding tradition in our country for political officials to wait until the last minute to warn, to take action, to evacuate. No more. With Irene, you had mass evacuations - mandatory ones - issued days ahead of time. That was the right thing to do.

I needed to grow up and do things all adults do. It was time to stop having everything spoon fed to me. It was about being independent.

There are lots of times when I'm a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things.

The iPhone calendar isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. It only offers a day view and a month view - it doesn't have a week view, which drives me crazy.

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.

Competition leads both drug companies and private regulators to be trustworthy. If they are not trustworthy, they die.

The giraffe stood tall and proud with its long neck. The giraffe was covered in a beautiful yellow and orange mosaic style pattern. The giraffe stood next to its baby. The baby was short with shaking spindly legs which shook every time it took a step.

A nation must be embraced, rehabilitated and expressed as a tangible sign of human creativity and as an integral element of mankind's heritage.

'Doctor Who' is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time.
