You can't get a much better actress than Dame Maggie Smith or Dame Diana Rigg. They're the tops, aren't they?

That's probably the most erotic thing I've ever seen in my life - Ingrid Bergman walking around in a theater-in-the-round in a backless dress, not long before she died.

No, I was working in Canada. In fact, the man who asked me to be in The Avengers, I told him, what do I need to be in that, I'm a producer now.

And in the Second World War, you didn't just read about it in the newspapers because you weren't allowed to read it in the newspapers. It was all censored, you know? So nobody knew what we were doing.

I like most of the Humphrey Bogart movies because they had to act then, and they acted very well. Edward G. Robinson is probably the best actor I've ever seen on the movies.

Well, at the age of seventeen I got into it professionally, and I was in the West End of London in a play. I did a good deal.

It was on Starz, the channel that puts all these things on. They have all these early episodes. I saw one of the ones with Honor Blackman the other day, and I wish to God they'd never resurrected them. But they put them on, yes.

I was producing a series about Sir Winston Churchill, about which I was extremely proud, and earning a lot of money as a producer.

I went to acting school, but only for nine months. If you're an actor, you know, don't really need to learn how to do it.

At the moment I'm reading The Life of Ken Tynan, which is absolutely fascinating, because it really sort of decimates him - and he was one of the greatest drama critics who've ever been.

Joanna Lumley is just one of the most intelligent, the brightest, certainly beautiful, of course, women that I know. She's a wonderful writer. She's a considerable woman. I adored working with her, and I'm very fond of her anyway.

Television has some lovely aspects to it - and some ghastly aspects - but the theater itself was a wonderful invention.

They call it The New Avengers but it's really the old Avengers with new people except for me, looking rather fat and rather old.

It was male chauvinism, as you must realize, in the 1960s, particularly in the entertainment business, which was pretty repulsive.

You can't get much bigger than Lumley, she's the biggest star in England now, of anybody. She's got another show that's on now, that's hugely successful, Absolutely Fabulous. She's a wonderful woman.

But I did an awful lot of work in Hollywood, and in New York for that matter.

You see, the American attitude of women is you put them up there on a pedestal. Well, that's not The Avengers. The Avengers is the two characters, one's male and the other's female, set in the early '60s, something that hadn't been done before.

I didn't learn how to speak - you know what I mean by speak? Speak on a stage, so that you can be heard - until I was fifty-five. I was doing a play on Broadway called Sleuth, which is one of the biggest hits on Broadway, and I had a run for three years.

So I find the fascination, the love, the incredible skill and everything to do with acting, writing plays, and doing them, just darling. Lovely. I love actors.

I mean, everyone says Citizen Kane. It isn't that great, anyway. And Orson Welles I knew well, of course. He made other incredible films that no one would let him make, which were much better than Citizen Kane, really.
