Judi Dench claims not to be “good at my own company.” Rather, to understand her own identity she needs to be in the attentive gaze of others - as the psychologist D. W. Winnicott puts it, “When I look I am seen, so I exist.”
Dench is clear on this point. “I need somebody to reflect me back, or to give me their reflection,” she says.
