More quotes by Francesca Annis
However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.
Francesca Annis
I never pursued being 'famous.'
Francesca Annis
I am pretty self-indulgent.
Francesca Annis
Fame and stardom sat very easily on Elizabeth Taylor's shoulders.
Francesca Annis
Everything has changed. An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.

I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone's 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
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
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
I am not going to share my private life with millions of people. I don't find a need to do that and nobody else close to me does either.
Francesca Annis
I’m the same weight now as I’ve always been-even before having children-but I have to say there’s been a redistribution of the flesh!
Francesca Annis
You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.
Francesca Annis
I don't need a piece of paper to suggest that I can commit myself.
Francesca Annis
I do think it's important to live in the present because in that way you won't be living in a state of regret.
Francesca Annis
I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.
Francesca Annis
I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.
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
I didn't choose to be an actress
