- [on her Are You Being Served? (1972) character] I've always been very fond of her - she is so vulnerable and silly. But she's got absolutely no sense of humor. That's why the most daring of double meanings in the show are delivered deadpan. I must say, sometimes I've got as far as the dress rehearsal before I've realised the double meanings myself!
- [on Harold Bennett and his playing of Young Mr Grace] Harold was a super person. He had a rather naive, innocent quality for all his messing about with the girls. He did it with a sort of childlike quality that somehow wasn't offensive.
- [on Mrs Slocombe's "pussy" references] As far as she is concerned she is talking about her cat. The only thing to do is play it absolutely straight. If you don't do it like that it would be very offensive.
