More quotes by Francesca Annis
I am pretty self-indulgent.
Francesca Annis
Judi Dench and Ian McKellen taught me how to work hard and respect the theatre.
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
However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.
Francesca Annis
I was asked to be in Vogue but I said no. I didn't want to advertise make-up. I didn't want to be seen as a sex symbol.
Francesca Annis
I've never been married and I've no more desire to be married now than I ever have. I hate bureaucracy and I am not religious.
Francesca Annis
I never pursued being 'famous.'
Francesca Annis
I don't think the media circus has ever been a shock to my life seeing as I was with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor when I was 17.
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 consulted a Chinese herbalist and spent two weeks on an island off the coast of Zanzibar. I was away from any kind of contemporary technology.
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
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 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
I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation.
Francesca Annis
I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.
Francesca Annis
I don't need a piece of paper to suggest that I can commit myself.
Francesca Annis
I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.
Francesca Annis
Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women I think men revere older women.
Francesca Annis
I am not a fanatic about anything. I do what I can do when I've got the time.
Francesca Annis
I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.
