Quoting Diana Rigg

"I think I was quite daring. I was once escorted out of a restaurant because I was wearing a trouser suit. It wasn't considered good breeding for a woman to go around in trousers after 6:00 pm, especially in smart restaurants and bars such as the Connaught Hotel, which served the best cocktails."



"The older you get, I have to say, the funnier you find life. That's the only way to go. If you get serious about yourself as you get old, you are pathetic."



"I don't want to retire. I never want to retire. What's the point of it?"



[on hitting middle age] "I am devastated at what has happened. I have completely disappeared. I am totally invisible. I never really liked my sexy label but on the other hand, to disappear so totally is quite startling."



Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg is a British actress mostly known for her role "Emma Peel" in the 1960s cult series "The Avengers".
