The Telegraph has done a profile piece on Imelda Staunton, in which she discusses roles across her career, from her work on Broadway, to
Vera Drake, to
Harry Potter.
Quote:
'Well, she's written that, and the whole thing about the children not being allowed to use spells - just read about them - the whole bloody health-and-safety aspect of our world today, which is so terrible for children, you know, "Don't touch it, don't move it, don't have any experience because I'm telling you what to think." It's just yuck.'
Quote:
"Look at Harry Potter - you've got the real and the unreal, absolutely married, beautifully. And, thank Christ people are writing stories about other things than 17-year-olds saying, "Whatever."'
