Quote of the Week- Maggie Smith




Today, we are starting our weekly series of quotes from previous Oscar winners. We start with Maggie Smith, who can currently be seen on PBS in "Downtown Abbey" and on the big screen (well in second-run theatres perhaps) in the latest Harry Potter flick.

Smith won her Best Actress Oscar for her title role in the film "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," directed by Ronald Neame ("Tunes of Glory," "Hopscotch") who died in June at the age of 99.

Here is the quip from the ever-witty stage and screen legend:

"The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage."
