“It's one of the oldest theatrical adages: never work with children or ...” — Samantha Bond Quote

It's one of the oldest theatrical adages: never work with children or animals.

I tend to opt for relaxed family holidays when I can.

Something like 'Sex And The City' was insulting - women all clawing on to their youth when there's such ripe territory in honestly exploring women's lives as they get older.

Filming is quite exciting because every day is different, but it can involve long hours standing around in chilly locations. Theatre is a very different challenge because every night you're striving to keep it fresh, even though you might have been performing the same play for months.

I have no problem with animals, I just like people more.

I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.

I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does, whether right or wrong.

I'm a radical environmentalist; I think the sooner we asphyxiate in our own filth, the better. The world will do better without us. Maybe some fuzzy animals will go with us, but there'll be plenty of other animals, and they'll be back.
