It's very hard to talk about Palestine to Jewish people - they see me as a betrayer.
From Miriam Margolyes
I believe Jews are compassionate people because of what we've suffered. We must not put that suffering onto others.
It makes me very sad. Everyone's afraid of each other - Jews are afraid of Palestinians, Palestinians are afraid of Jews. Everywhere I see fear, not understanding. Reason went out of the window a long time ago.
I was terribly upset not to be in 'Dickensian,' so I pretend to look down on it. The part I should have played, Mrs. Gamp, is done brilliantly by Pauline Collins, but I entered this world for no other reason than to play that part.
I was waiting for a train at Waverley Station in Edinburgh. My knee was hurting, so I asked a young man for his seat. He replied, 'There's one over there'. I said, 'Please', and when he refused I poured my water over him.
Everything's harder for women: harder to start, to stay employed, to run a life with a family.
I've been very lucky - I've worked consistently, and I haven't had to kiss a lot of people on stage.
I can't recall a bad review - maybe I'm due one. But the worst thing would be if somebody said I was inaudible. Reach your audience's ears - only then can you reach their hearts.
