Judi Dench says she has no plans to retire

Judi Dench may be 80, but she has no plans to retire and has said that a person "is as old as you feel."

The veteran actress, who would soon be seen in a magical adaptation of Dahl's romantic tale Esio Trot, alongside fellow Oscar winner, Dustin Hoffman, said that age was just a number, and though she did get upset she was 40, age never bothered her, the Mirror reported.

Dench added that it drove her "absolutely spare" when people asked if she was going to retire, and she wanted to go on for as long as she could, and back off only if she didn't succeed.
