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.

More quotes by Cherie Lunghi
I didn't get attached to Botox. It is costly, and you have to remember to keep doing it.
Cherie Lunghi
To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness.

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 enjoy art, architecture, museums, churches and temples anything that gives me insight into the history and soul of the place I'm in. I can also be a beach bum - I like to laze in the shade of a palm tree with a good book or float in a warm sea at sundown.

I can honestly say I love getting older. Then again, I never put my glasses on before looking in the mirror.
Cherie Lunghi
I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot.

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.

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
With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.
Cherie Lunghi
It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.
Cherie Lunghi
I wear my lines like a soldier wears his medals. They've been earned. They've been fought for - so there's no reason to be ashamed of them. In your 50s, you just care less about that sort of thing. I think it's to do with what's inside you. You can't obsess about the outside.
Cherie Lunghi
I just want a quiet life. I think that's what everybody says when they get older.
Cherie Lunghi
I've never felt the need to be defined by a man.

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.

I think being raised by a single mother put me on the outside, and I would watch my mothers married friends and think, Why does she put him down in public? or, Why is he so rude to her? It seemed to me that there were very few marriages where the couple were genuinely in a supportive, loving partnership.

There's something about 'Strictly Come Dancing.' Everywhere I go, people wish me good luck cabbies toot their horns. It's lovely. I have a theory: in straitened times, there's nothing like a bit of unapologetic escapism.

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 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 grew up in a very political household. My mum used to shout at the television. At Mrs. Thatcher.
