Diana Quick

What was I like in 1966? I was 19 years old, very confident, and life was a big adventure.

That was the fun of acting, being a blank canvas you could transform into the character - Indian princess, 20s vamp, Mother Courage, Oxford don, 94-year-old wife.

I did a couple of sketch shows with Mike Palin and Terry Jones... and then I got hired by Granada to do a weekly topical show.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
