Quotes by Miriam Margolyes (?)

“I realised then that life could get up and bite you – and now Covid has got up and bitten us all. I know that kindness and gentleness are the most valuable commodities. Now, more than ever, they demand distribution.”

“More than anything though, I wanted to have a man's suit, male in every particular. Was I 'butch' as a little girl? No - I simply wanted not to have to wear dresses. Now, I adore the little summer frocks I have, always made to the same pattern. There is a subtle difference between a frock and a dress. Mine are all 'frocks'. They've all been made for me by various wardrobe mistresses on every film and play I've ever done. I look like a throwback to the 1950s but they're comfy and suit me and they ALL have pockets. Pockets are essential in my life, and every garment I own must have them.”
