“I tend to opt for relaxed family holidays when I can.” — Samantha Bond Quote

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

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

Agatha Christie holds special personal memories for me because my mum, a television producer called Pat Sandys, had been the first person to persaude the Agatha Christie estate to put one of her stories on T.V.

I'm very shocked when I look at television and I see such an aggressive youth and image obsession in the representation of women on our screens.

As a child, I always remember our home, which was a flat just on the Barnes side of Hammersmith Bridge in London, buzzing with actors such as Patrick McGee and Peter Bowles. We were a family who were always on the go.

I've always had a dream that I might write a Christmas song that might resonate with people during the holidays.

It's tough for some families throughout the year and during the holidays.

When it comes to Judaism, the thing that really kept us together was the family aspect. It was the High Holidays, coming together as a family for an event. A meal.

I just love the holidays so much.

When I'm on holidays I love to carry a fan in my handbag.
