ADD QUOTES
- Judi: (revealing she will miss the 2007 Oscars due to knee surgery) I can't go to the Oscars because I've got to have a knee operation so 'break a leg' is actually quite apt because they're going to have to break it and put it back together again - I'll be much taller. But I shall watch and cheer from my bed.

- Judi: My only regret in life is that I didn't have more children.
  Edit Share Hide
- Judi: The thing about not reading scripts and my wanting a director to tell me a story is a risk I need to take. I need that real fear.
