Julie Christie

"Happiness is the absence of suffering. I think it's an interesting way of looking at it. I think the absence of suffering exists very rarely in the world we live in."

"I've never quite understood why people marry marriage is just an invented structure."

"I never will have peace of mind. I'm not constructed that way. Some things in life can be horrible."

"As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now I'm not going to say what they were."
