Filming for me is a means to an end, it enables me to live. I do not have a very great opinion of screen acting. I have never seen anything done on the screen which could not have been done, indeed sometimes has been done, by intelligent animals.

There has never been time in my life for games and very seldom for watching other people play them. I find it very boring and I never had the slightest interest in people kicking a ball about for 90 minutes and then abandoning it on the field where it was originally and walking away. I just cannot see what has been gained. I perfectly understand that if you watch it long enough you go mad and throw lavatories out of the trains on the way back. I think it rots your brain watching Football.

I started doing crossword puzzles with my Mother and I remember the moment vividly. We were on a long journey and I sat in the back with my little suitcase to keep me company with my Mother and Brother sitting in the front. Suddenly she read out a clue and said ‘Oh I wish I had the Morse code.’ I was a girl guide and I piped up from the back 'well I do.'So I unpacked my little bag and gave her the book. Ever since I have been an avid crossword fiend and I still do them to this very day. ANNA MASSEY talking to KEN WINDSOR, GLASGOW 2007.
My husband is an inventor, a metallurgist and a remarkable human being, who I met very late on in my life. I have spent the last 18 years with him and he has totally changed my life. He has an extraordinary original view on life and we have conversations even now which are just so fascinating. I have found life so much richer and fuller in his company. I feel very spoilt.In life you have got to live and open yourself up to meet the right person.
ANNA MASSEY talking to KEN WINDSOR, GLASGOW 2007.
I went through a lot of my life with blinkers but I worked hard to get the blinkers off. When they are gone, once you discover who you are and what your problems are then you learn more about yourself.When you achieve this you can also understand more about other people. This helps you to have an equal relationship, because no relationship with anybody is worth anything unless it is equal.
ANNA MASSEY talking to KEN WINDSOR, GLASGOW 2007.
Life is absolutely bearable on your own. It is unbearable with the wrong companion but it is so much richer with the right partner.
ANNA MASSEY talking to KEN WINDSOR, GLASGOW 2007.
I think that always out of the dark times will emerge positive thoughts. I managed in my darker moments to find humour and laughter and optimism. We all struggle with those bleaker times but you just have to battle through them and say something which I have always said to myself which is ‘This too shall pass.

I have not had very good health myself over the years, having had rheumatic fever when I was at school. This week I am playing a lot of one-nighters in the West Country and I am going back exhausted to my farmhouse in Wales. Many of my friends keep telling me to cut down on these as they certainly take a toll on your health but I just love my music and this is my life.
BILLY FURY talking to KEN WINDSOR, the 1970's
I have strong views on everybody in Education. I do not think that Schoolmasters have done a very good job in my lifetime. I am always longing for them to have a breakthrough and find out how to teach children. You see – a Schoolmaster fills a child’s mind with knowledge which he is never going to find any use for later. This puts him off learning anything afterwards and a child closes its’ mind when they close their desk at school.

I used to work with boats and in those days the sailors would bring back records from America and these became my first love - good country and western music. There is now some great country coming back, I call it soft country and I am now having some records sent over from the States and re-inventing my original love for this type of music.
