Vanessa Redgrave: Mature Jenny

Quotes 

• Mature Jenny : [narrating]  Sometimes in life, one has to take a chance. Without risk, there's no possibility. Without potential loss, no prize.

• [first lines] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  By the time I'd been in Poplar for a year, I'd begun to see myself as rather bold. Coming to examine me? Dank alleys did not frighten me, and neither did their occupants. But did I really take risks? Did I really look beyond the surface, to the darker things beneath? My uniform was my armour. And there was much about the East End that I did not need to know. Much about life I had yet to encounter. It was a safe bet that surprises lay in store.
