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've never felt the need to be defined by a man.
Cherie Lunghi
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.
Cherie Lunghi
I didn't get attached to Botox. It is costly, and you have to remember to keep doing it.
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 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
It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.
Cherie Lunghi
With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.
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 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
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
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
I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot.
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 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.
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
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 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
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.
Cherie Lunghi
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.
