- The first scene that we, that we shot with her,

and the first time I ever worked with her,

was when she got in the car, a 1910 Renault.

And they gave me a very specific mark to hit,

basically handbrake turned a 1910 Renault,

with basically a national treasure in the backseat.

"Okay, we're gonna have to reset the car,

and Maggie went, "I think I'll get out first."

- All I had to do was put a cloak on her,

and when she turned around, I give her her handbag.

"This sounds appropriate to my level of footman-ing."

I put the cloak on her but kinda brushed her--

maybe punched her in the face (chuckles),

and then they shouted "cut" and then I pulled the cloak off

I love about her is that Maggie was so awesome about it.

and she immediately kind of made us feel at ease.

She did this funny thing of kind of, you know,

sort of, walking out with her walking stick like a granny.

- Then when I got to join the upstairs cast

on her way in the first day, she was back,

she stopped at the doorway, she was passing me,

- There's a couple of very good lines that Maggie

has to Edith when she's feeling a bit blue

and she's moaning and moping a bit, and Violet says,

"Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class."

- I've never had a put-down from Maggie except in the movie,

"It wasn't a contrived meeting, we met by chance,"

- One of my favorite Maggie lines is the classic,

- But there's so many moments with Maggie that I couldn't--

I'd be here all day if I told you all of them.
