Los Angeles, May 21 (IANS) Veteran Hollywood star Judi Dench feels fortunate that she has been able to do a job that she loves in the form of acting for so many years.
Dench told My Weekly magazine: “I feel very lucky to be part of the two per cent of people who wanted to do something and were able to make a living at it.
“I never cease to be grateful of the fact that I am able to do a job that I really love – I never got over that. I think the key to happiness is gratitude.”
The Oscar-winner’s ability to work has been limited by the macular degeneration that has badly affected her eyesight, although she remains “in love with life”, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The former James Bond actress said: “Be thankful for what you have, and you’ll find abundance in every aspect of your life. I’m in love with life even though it is a beautiful mess – but that’s what makes it so incredible.”
The actress is widely seen as a national treasure in Britain but she quipped that she sees the title in another way.
She said: “It’s dusty and dreary. It’s like I’ve been picked up and put inside a little glass-fronted cabinet. Then they’ve locked the door so I can’t get out.”
Dench earlier said that this year that she lost her voice for two days after being scared by a close encounter with a snake when she starred in a 1987 production of William Shakespeare’s ‘Antony and Cleopatra’.
Dench, who was playing the female lead in the play, told the BBC Radio 4 documentary ‘Roleplay’: “One night, the boys taking me [carrying me] kept hissing. I was wondering what on earth was going on.
“Then, back on stage at the very end of the play, the snake fell out of my wig as I did my bow. I was so scared I lost my voice for two days.”
Meanwhile, the actress previously hit out at the increasing trend for trigger warnings being read out before stage plays and suggested that those of a sensitive disposition should stay away from the theatre.
She said: “My God, it must be a pretty long trigger warning before ‘King Lear’ or ‘Titus Andronicus’. I can see why they exist, but if you’re that sensitive, don’t go to the theatre, because you could be very shocked. Where is the surprise of seeing and understanding it in your own way?”
