The older you get, I have to say, the funnier you find life. That's the only way to go.
I loved the idea of playing this naughty old bag, offering her own explanation. It's my idea of heaven.
I thought it was ridiculous that I was being paid less than a cameraman, and I wanted to shame them. And I did.
If you get serious about yourself as you get old, you are pathetic.
I hope there's a tinge of disgrace about me. Hopefully, there's one good scandal left in me yet.
If you're earning equal pay to a man, you get respect. It shouldn't be that way, but it is.
Once, when I was playing a nude scene in an indifferent play in New York, a critic wrote, 'Diana Rigg is built like a brick basilica with too few flying buttresses.' Do you think that's fair?
Maybe at this stage in my career, it's from that younger generation that I have most to learn.
If a man holds a door open for me or pulls back a chair so that this old bag can sit down, I'm delighted.
I would head to the countryside for peace and silence. That would be the best way, away from panicked, hysterical people.
In actual fact, I doubled 'Twelfth Night' and 'The Avengers'. I was going backwards and forwards to Stratford. I played matinees Wednesday, matinee and evenings Saturdays, and the other days of the week, I was filming in Elstree.

Yes, well, you are quite camp, so I guess that he could see the point of you.
In the old days, a star was someone up there - you know, Greta Garbo - but a telly star was somebody you could approach.
Years ago I was at a function, and I must have said something really rude to Paul Daniels the magician. I can't recall what I said, but I remember him looking utterly crestfallen. I'm not that sort of person, but I must have said something very cutting and belittling. Our paths haven't crossed since, but if they had, I would have said sorry to him.
I made a bit of a stink. At the time, it was considered very bad form.
I confess I do a lot of the wrong things: I smoke, and I drink wine, and people might be horrified at my eating habits - I eat when I'm hungry, and if I'm not, I don't.
Tabloid newspapers are very rich and hold huge funds to fight claims.
There is a life after being at the pinnacle of your beauty. Plenty of life and fun.
