More quotes by Francesca Annis

I didn't choose to be an actress

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 don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.
Francesca Annis
Judi Dench and Ian McKellen taught me how to work hard and respect the theatre.
Francesca Annis
