I switch off lights like a maniac. I drive at reasonable speeds so that I don't waste petrol.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

As soon as you reach a certai...

As soon as you reach a certain age, you're thrown onto a kind of mental scrap heap.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

I don't think men are that at...

I don't think men are that attracted by glamour. I think women are attracted by glamour. I think men are attracted by a sense of friendship.

I'm very good at getting up in the morning - so much of my life has been spent on film sets where we start at the crack of dawn.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

I never wanted to go to unive...

I never wanted to go to university: books seemed to have all the answers, and the questions, too. I went to work for Jean Muir as her in-house model. Miss Muir - as she will always be to me - was interested in everything.

I'd been a Bond girl and in Dracula films and 'Coronation Street,' but I was always hunting for work. After 'The New Avengers,' I never had to wait for work again.

I don't do girlfriendy sort of things, like shopping or going to spas. Spas fill me with horror. Frankly, I'd be more interested in doing a walk through the sewers of London!

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

I could never go into politics, because I'm far too impatient and I'd want to be a dictator, albeit a benevolent one... I would hope.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

My great-great-great uncle - ...

My great-great-great uncle - or maybe it's only two 'greats' - crossbred the first Aberdeen Angus.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

I don't lose my temper. I use...

I don't lose my temper. I used to, but I realised I would probably die of a brain hemorrhage. So I've governed myself not to mind about things. I have no road rage or anything like that. Because it's life-shortening. And also, there's no need for it; it uses up energy.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

Romance is quite an overblown...

Romance is quite an overblown word. This idea of chocolates and champagne and that's it. There's more to love than that. Romance is quite a soppy word. Love is much more important.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

Even clingfilm - if it's gone...

Even clingfilm - if it's gone over a salad bowl, take it off, use it again. I wash out carrier bags; I save brown paper from parcels. I save string; I save ribbons. I separate all my bits and pieces.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

I'm three quarters Scottish, ...

I'm three quarters Scottish, but I sound English. I don't really see British as a race.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

Women are very different to m...

Women are very different to men, and that hasn't been respected. So when people say there's never been a good woman painter or poet or engineer or whatever, they don't understand that our skills are many simultaneously and men's skills are single.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

Ah, Scotland. I am three-part...

Ah, Scotland. I am three-parts Scottish and terribly proud of it, although maybe we should divide it into eighths, because my two-eighths are Danish and English, the Lumley part. But the bulk of the rest of me is Scottish - and Scottish ministers especially.

I think laptops should be banned from schools. Until you can prove you can add up on your fingers or think independently in your head, you have learnt nothing.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

We've forgotten to respect cl...

We've forgotten to respect clothes and consider who made them and where the material came from. We've been encouraged to buy things and, if we don't like them, bin them. When I grew up, we'd repair things or alter them.

Joanna Lumley 45 quotes

Film work is hard work. It's long days, and quite often quite dismaying locations you have to be in.

I love a cardboard coffin. Both Mummy and Daddy went off in cardboard coffins, painted - Daddy's was rifle green. Beautifully made.

I was once kissed on the lips by a giraffe, and I don't think I've ever got over it.
