More quotes by Francesca Annis
I don't really have an image of myself. Now, is that true? Well, maybe I do and it's different, which is why I get shocked when I see how other people experience me. I see myself primarily in a domestic setting.
Francesca Annis
Everything has changed. An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.
Francesca Annis
I do find acting cathartic.
Francesca Annis
It's funny, this thing about happiness. It's a commodity that was imported from America in the Fifties. I see myself simply as living my life. . . . I feel it's pushing your luck to define how happy you are.
Francesca Annis

Francesca Annis
I am not a fanatic about anything. I do what I can do when I've got the time.
Francesca Annis
My parents were hugely supportive like that. I was always the best - it's so embarrassing, isn't it? I was always the best at everything.
Francesca Annis
I am pretty self-indulgent.
Francesca Annis
Fame and stardom sat very easily on Elizabeth Taylor's shoulders.
Francesca Annis
From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.
Francesca Annis
Truly charismatic people, in my experience, dont come along very often.
Francesca Annis
Having children with someone is the real bond.
Francesca Annis
I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.
Francesca Annis
I didn't choose to be an actress
Francesca Annis
When I was starting out, young actresses had the studio system to protect them. Now you have a host of sharks, from your agent to your publicist to your lawyer.
