"Natasha combined the best of (her parents) Vanessa Redgrave and Tony Richardson: the enormous depth and emotional force of a great actor on the one hand, and the intelligence and objectivity of a great director on the other. She was one of a kind, a magnificent actress. She was also an amazing mother, a loyal friend, and the greatest and most generous host you could ever hope to meet. It defies belief that this gifted, brave, tenacious, wonderful woman is gone."

"He was an extraordinary man in every respect. I think everybody knows about his incredible work for charity and the way in which he transitioned so gracefully from being an iconic movie star to being a sort of humanitarian and a worker for charity. For me personally, working with him was the highlight of my professional life. The thing I remember the most about him is his total lack of ego and his lack of entourage and his lack of hangers-on. He was just...he demanded to be seen as a working actor and not a movie star."
