My first big disappointment is always, why don't I look like Julie Christie? Then I realise I don't look remotely like Julie Christie, and that's always a great sadness to me. Because I used to think I might have done, at one time. And I'm too fat. And I'm too old. You always see your faults, you see.

Inner talent gives you that ease. It's not a remarkable thing - just a knack that gives you a very nice life.

I should be in an old people's home now, counting the roses in the wallpaper. It's a good life, isn't it?

Anne Reid Quotes
