At that time I had complete confidence in Russian policy and I believed that the Western Allies deliberately allowed Russia and Germany to fight each other to the death.

The last time when I handed over information was in February or March 1949.

I joined the Communist Party because I felt I had to be in some organization.

I was a student in Germany when Hitler came to power.

Finally Germany's attack on Russia seemed to confirm that Russia was not shirking and was prepared to carry out a foreign policy with the risk of war with Germany.

Before I joined the project most of the English people with whom I had made personal contacts were left wing and affected to some degree or other by the same kind of philosophy.

I was in the underground until I left Germany.

Sweet love, sweet thorn, when lightly to my heart. I took your thrust, whereby I since am slain, And I lie disheveled in the grass apart, A sodden thing bedrenched by tears and rain.

I was the youngest of five, and I think my mother always knew I was meant to be an actress.

There are certain things for which civilization has no answer. But if you choose to meddle thus, then you must be prepared to facethe consequences, whatever they are.

When I was 11, I realised that I did not have to live the life my mother had: school, marriage, children, apartment, summer house.

I can't get a relationship to last longer than it takes to make copies of their tapes.

We've pretended too much in our family, Luke, and hidden far too much. I think we're all going to pay a high price for our inability to face the truth.

We are all of us, more or less, the slaves of opinion.
