Vote: | Audiences in London arrive stressed out of their minds because they can't find anywhere to park, they can't find their tickets, whatever. There is a great joy in being out of London because people are in their seats, waiting for you, waiting to watch the show, not rushing in at the last minute. They are there because they want to see the show and they know how to listen. |

Vote: | I believe people need to be given the confidence to be able to believe in themselves and to be able to work hard for what they want in life. Such skills should be taught free to all but things are still not good enough - such services should be provided in all schools and, at the moment, they are not. |

Vote: | I do a lot of work with the Dyslexia Institute because, for people with dyslexia who do not have parental support, it is a huge disadvantage. I was fortunate because my Mum was a teacher and she taught me to work hard. |

Vote: | I don't want to be someone people feel sorry for; I don't want to be a martyr. I think life is amazing and at the end of the day whether I'm the best actress in the world or the worst, on my deathbed it's not going to count. What your input into life is actually what counts so that makes me have a completely different attitude. |

Vote: | I drink lots of water and lead a healthy lifestyle. No coffee, no smoking, only a little wine and a very good diet. |

Vote: | I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and plenty of raw garlic, which is very good for blood pressure and looking after the heart. |

Vote: | I'm ashamed to say I've only just learnt to work my mobile! I don't know how to text, use my video, the net, e-mail. I can turn on the TV, the oven and drive a car! I'm living in a bygone era, I'm afraid. I'm missing a lot, I know. |

Vote: | It is a lonely existence to be a child with a disability which no-one can see or understand, you exasperate your teachers, you disappoint your parents, and worst of all you know that you are not just stupid. |

Vote: | It's funny how fashions and snobbisms change: people in serious theatre say "ooh, I don't want to make films" and people in films or in Shakespeare say "I don't want to do television". There's a lot of very interesting things to do with that; when I was in musicals in the 60s I wanted to get out of that and do straight theatre, whereas now straight theatre is having a terrible time and one is lucky to be in a musical. |

Vote: | Television has been very kind to me, I will never knock any opportunities they give me. I've had some wonderful parts and can never be grateful enough. I've always loved doing theatre, I find it tremendously exciting. I haven't done many films but those I have done, I have loved. |

Vote: | The Forsyte Saga really swept the country as eventually it swept the entire world. It was a huge success in Russia as it was everywhere else. They changed the times of church services and there were things about The Forsyte Saga all the time. All I know is that we all had our careers catapulted into great prominence and those in the series who were already big stars received a great boost. |

Vote: | We do not get to this age to be written off. Older people can act as a support system, which is what happens more in Mediterranean countries. People become much wiser as they get older and we should value that. |

Biography
|
Susan Hampshire (born 12 May, 1938) is an English actress best known for her many film and television roles.
She first became famous after playing the lead in a 1962 BBC adaptation of What Katy Did. Soon afterwards, she was taken up by Walt Disney, and starred in The Three Lives of Thomasina and The Fighting Prince of Donegal. Her appeal was that of an "English rose", and few people were aware of her problem with dyslexia. In her autobiography, Susan's Story, she publicised her experiences, and her work on behalf of dyslexics eventually led to her being awarded the O.B.E.
Susan Hampshire appeared in several long-running television serials, notably in the BBC's blockbuster, The Forsyte Saga (1967), in which she played Fleur. In 1969, she starred as Sarah Churchill in The First Churchills, and in 1974, she played the lead in another 26-part serial, The Pallisers. She currently stars in Monarch of the Glen.
