The advantage of age is that you swap youth for wisdom. You're so full of insecurities when you're young. 'Who am I? What do I have to do for people to like me?' You get caught up in things. You get very emotional about things.

More quotes by Cherie Lunghi
I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot.
Cherie Lunghi
I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.
Cherie Lunghi
It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.
Cherie Lunghi
I can honestly say I love getting older. Then again, I never put my glasses on before looking in the mirror.
Cherie Lunghi
People ask me how I manage without a man in the same tone they might ask someone how they're doing with just one lung, but it's not like that at all.
Cherie Lunghi
I'm lucky to have very good genes. My mother was so tiny she was almost bird-like, and my father was tall and lean. Both lived until their early 80s.
Cherie Lunghi
I try to live my life as honestly as I can, and the last thing I want is to pretend to be something I'm not. To pretend to myself I am a sex symbol would somehow be dishonest. I'd feel, in my heart, that I were behaving artificially and that's the last thing I want to do.

Sadly, the timing's never been right. There have been men who would have married me but I didn't feel the same, and vice versa.
Cherie Lunghi
I have that precious commodity - freedom. I can live my life a day at a time, and I am open to whatever the next day brings. I know I sound as if I have been off with some guru in India, but I haven't. I've come to realise the value of being able to decide for oneself.
Cherie Lunghi
I grew up in a very political household. My mum used to shout at the television. At Mrs. Thatcher.
Cherie Lunghi
War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love.
Cherie Lunghi
With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.
Cherie Lunghi
I ski every three years or so. I don't have the ingrained confidence that others do, but I'll happily toddle about a green or blue run.
Cherie Lunghi
I'm pretty good at getting things out of the way, especially paperwork. I hate it sitting about, as it somehow weighs me down.
Cherie Lunghi
Im mad keen on recycling because Im worried about the next generation and where all this waste were producing is going. It has to stop. I wash out my plastic containers and recycle envelopes, everything I possibly can.
Cherie Lunghi
I've always been terrified about not having money. I've been a big saver and a big earner. When I've been out of work, I've always found another job. I never wanted to get into debt, because money was very tight when I was growing up. I never felt deprived, but I couldn't have the things I wanted.
Cherie Lunghi
I didn't get attached to Botox. It is costly, and you have to remember to keep doing it.
Cherie Lunghi
There is so much pressure to be thin, and you constantly compare yourself to others. But confidence is something that comes with age and experience - it has to be earned along the way.
Cherie Lunghi
There isn't anything I don't eat, although I'm not too keen on creepy crawly things. Other than that, I'm quite adventurous. I like all types of red meat, and I'm not a fussy eater at all.
Cherie Lunghi
I just want a quiet life. I think that's what everybody says when they get older.
