And they would come to dinner, and we would simply be included in the conversation, which was quite fascinating. — Warren MacKenzie

In the age of the camera phone it's a bit weird when you're sitting having dinner in a restaurant and people think they're being very subtle taking a photo while in fact they're being very obvious.

This is my time.' — Hugh Bonneville

So that was more of a problem. — Madeleine Albright
