I loved Ingrid Bergman. I sat and saw her on the stage in a theater in the round.

Television has some lovely aspects to it - and some ghastly aspects - but the theater itself was a wonderful invention.

Well, you know, I was through the whole of the Second World War and saw all my friends killed.

I went to acting school, but only for nine months. If you're an actor, you know, don't really need to learn how to do it.

I take great pride in recalling that I could open in a play on Broadway or in London's West End and fill a theatre on the strength of my name - Steed's name.

I missed so much of the Swinging Sixties by working. From 1961 to 1969, I got up at 4.30 A.M., a car came for me at 5.30 A.M., and I was taken to our studio at Teddington or Elstree, and we filmed until I got home at 9.30 P.M., five days a week.
