“I am not going to share my private life with millions of people. I don...” — Francesca Annis Quote

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.

I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.

I like having a good time. It's probably my mother's Brazilian genes in me - party, party.

I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.

In the theatre, once you've gone about eight rows back, everybody else is just listening to you. You're very small, and nobody can really see what you're doing.

If I get an obit in the Times, they will say, of course, known to millions as Rumpole.

It would have been better if the first album sold well, the second sold better and the third really took off. Maybe that would've prepared me a little better for it. But the first time you ever release an album, to have it sell millions - it's a tough act to follow.

I can't understand why anyone would want nuclear warheads. If you shoot them off, it's not like you can take over that country-all you do is kill millions of people.

I will come again, and I will be millions.

There's so many parts of my life that I've struggled with - that so many millions of others struggled with - about being an outsider, about feeling ugly, about having to overcome looking different to other people.
