More quotes by Francesca Annis
I'll dance to anything: Bob Marley or rap.
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.
Francesca Annis
Truly charismatic people, in my experience, dont come along very often.
Francesca Annis
Roman's wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by Charles Manson the year before, but Roman had been through so much leaving the Warsaw ghetto that he was very strong and private.
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 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
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 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 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
The minute anyone's getting anxious I say, You must eat and you must sleep. They're the two vital elements for a healthy life.
Francesca Annis
I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.
Francesca Annis
Everything has changed. An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.
Francesca Annis
I think people have surgery for psychological reasons more than because of their looks.
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
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 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 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
Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.
Francesca Annis
I never pursued being 'famous.'
Francesca Annis
I am pretty self-indulgent.
