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."

"We all know now that people can look good for their age. It isn't so extraordinary, I don't know why people go on about it so much."

"After all my various relationships I find myself now home alone."

"You can love more than one person in your life, but things will be different. There'll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change."

"However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them."

"Truly charismatic people, in my experience, don't come along very often."
