Lover of many things

''There’s a great clip in which you were told that you have BDE—“Big Dick Energy”—and you were asked what you think it means. Have you learned what it is since?''

''I was very vague about it, but then I was almost choosing to be vague about it, because the microphone was put in my face at the Mamma Mia! premiere and I had never heard of it, had no clue. And then an actress friend of mine emailed me weeks later to say, "You're my hero. That was a genius response." And I don't even remember what I said! Whatever it is, it amuses me. I’d rather it remain mysterious, but just between us…what is it again?''

The Telegraph: Some might argue that Baranski has had decades of typecasting. But then, what a type it is. I ask her how she feels about forever being thought of as grand and fabulous.

“I could do worse! To be known as this kind of sophisticated character who’s witty as sin? Matthew always said, ‘It’s better than a sharp stick in the eye’.” She tilts her sunglasses at me, and, with a self-ironising twitch of a smile, says: “Grand and fabulous? That’ll do.”

“We lived on the other side of town, in the Polish section known as Cheektowalga. It means land of the crabapples”

“We embraced, and I looked him straight in the eye — I did not look anywhere else but his face. We had a huge embrace. I often said if I ever meet Michael Sheen I won’t know where to look. It was very easy because I was greeting him as a colleague and he was in court about to shoot a scene and I wasn’t working that day”

“It’s a scene where he’s spinning tales and telling me that he knows about me and he’s got my number and all of that. I’m having none of it, I call security to get him out. In the middle of shooting that scene, he looked at me and said, ‘You know, I never said that about my penis. He said, ‘It was Sarah, my then-girlfriend. And I said, ‘It’s fine. However I’m associated with you is an honor, Michael”- Christine Baranski
