QUOTES BY Francesca Annis


I have always done exercise because I was a dancer, and it is probably good for you. I have done yoga consistently.

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.

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.

Eat well and sleep well. That will feed your nervous system and your psyche. As you get older, you look how you feel.

I think people should do whatever they want to do. That's the point. Why should you care what other people think or say? You're not living in their pocket.

From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.

I used to suffer from excessive pride. Well, I got over that one.

My mother was madly adventurous. My father was an actor - he worked with Gielgud - and my mother came from a very wealthy family. She definitely wasn't meant to marry an actor, but she eloped with him one lunch-time.

Having children with someone is the real bond.
