“'Downton' is one of the best jobs in the world, and I'm looking forwar...” — Samantha Bond Quote

'Downton' is one of the best jobs in the world, and I'm looking forward to the next series for Maggie Smith's wicked sense of humour.

I adore acting; it's in my blood - quite literally - but I can honestly say the most creative thing in the world for me is being a mother.

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.

The middle-aged woman is the ground bed of the audience that watches television, and yet they are absolutely invisible.

Deep poignant pathos can be described better in dark humour.

I like someone with a really good and dark sense of humour.

Humour or comedy should not offend anyone.

Life is hard. It is not too short, it is too long. But you have to learn how to live; you have to have a sense of humour.

I haven't that much of a sense of humour.
