This section just reproduces some of the quotes that Glynis Barber has said
in different interviews.
About her arrival in London:
'I was rather helpless & pathetic when I first arrived in London at the age
of 18, but I've been fending for myself ever since'.
Hello! Magazine. 25/03/1989
About her marriage with Michael Brandon:
'I think from the moment we decided to get married things just
started to get much better. It wasn't the fact of getting married, it was the
commitment and once we made that decision, suddenly everything just felt a lot
easier and we discussed things more'.
Hello! Magazine. 09/06/1990.
About getting involved in good causes:
'Yes, I suppose we do. I've done some work for Help The Aged. When you're in the
limelight, people ask you to make appearances and we try and do what we can'.
Hello! Magazine. 09/06/1990.
About her background:
'What the press have always done with me is to interwine my background with that
of Harriet Makepeace. I've never really spoken about my background. People always
asume that I come from this very hoity toity aristocratic family and I honestly don't.
Hello! Magazine. 09/06/1990.
About getting pregnant:
'My initial reaction was shock, because although we wanted children, I didn't
expect it quite so soon. But by the end of the day, I felt ecsthatic. I walked
around in seventh heaven for a week -until the symptoms started'.
Hello! Magazine. 27/06/1992.
About being parents:
'Most children have some bitterness or sadness connected to their childhood and
their parents, so I think being a parent is a very difficult thing'.
'I hope that my child will always feel that i'm a friend and someone that they can
come to, rather than someone they'll have to hide troubles from, because they don't
know how I'll react, which was what my childhood was like'.
Hello! Magazine. 27/06/1992.
'I would hope that we're the kind of parents who'd produce a happy & secure child.
If that's so, then I will think we will have done a good job'.
Hello! Magazine. January, 1993.
About being stalked:
'Over the years, there were quite a few incidents. I had to call the police a number of times.
It's amazing how obsessed people become and how they lose that line of reality and think you're
a particular role'.
Sunday Mirror Magazine. 04/10/1998.
About the Apartheid Laws & censorship in South Africa:
'It was frightening. I have witnessed horrendous things'.
'I was quite paranoic when I arrived in London. I was convinced that the South African
Secret Police were following me because you were not allowed to do those things (read any book,
voice any opinion). If you did, you thought, you would be arrested'.
Sunday Mirror Magazine. 04/10/1998.
About Motherhood:
'The night I had Alexander was the best night of my life. Fantastic. I was never the kind of woman
who had to have a child. I wasn't the broody type. I have changed so much'.
Sunday Mirror Magazine. 04/10/1998.
About her first meeting with Michael Brandon:
'When we met, I didn't think we would end up married. There was a connection between us, but
it wasn't all love. I found him tricky to begin with, but there was a strong attraction'.
'I didn't know Michael as a person and he was very much trying to be Dempsey, but I didn't know
who he was'.
'That line became a little blurred. But the Michael I know now is so different'.
Sunday Mirror Magazine. 04/10/1998.
About filming new episodes of "Dempsey & Makepeace":
'We would have to find a new or innovative way to do it, because to recreate exactly something we
did that long ago, would be a big mistake'.
OK! Magazine. 29/12/1999.
