“'Friends' is easy to dismiss, but it's really good television - the ar...” — Marianne Elliott Quote

'Friends' is easy to dismiss, but it's really good television - the art with which those actors play with comedy shouldn't be denigrated. And they also know how to play irony, which I think a lot of English actors might find quite difficult.

It's predominantly a male society, predominately a male culture, predominantly a male theatre, and predominantly male critics, but that's changing, definitely.

I didn't want to just be remembered for 'War Horse.'

I believe that theater has to be utterly life-changing for the people watching it.

I'm always drawn to female stories with female protagonists, and I particularly yearn for more older actresses to take centre stage in 2018.

If you can dismiss the best in the world, it means you're doing something right and have the quality needed to perform at the highest level.

Trump can dismiss polls, but he can't ignore people.

I don't think it's my duty to dismiss rumours which other people invent.

Many people dismiss morning television as fluff, but the morning hours are where the money is.

My liberal friends love to dismiss Reagan. You know, they'll say something like, 'Oh, didn't he, like, only read one-page memos when he was in the White House?' Well, that's just good managerial practice. I mean, Franklin Roosevelt made people write one-page memos.
