More quotes by 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 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 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
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
You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.
Francesca Annis

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 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 didn't choose to be an actress
Francesca Annis
However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.
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
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
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
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
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.
Francesca Annis
I think people have surgery for psychological reasons more than because of their looks.
