Joanna Lumley Quotes

You only have one go at life, which is thrilling. Only you can make yourself into who you want to be. Don’t blame anybody else. You are entitled to free fresh air, and that’s it. Do the rest yourself Picture Quote #1

I’m tall with broad shoulders, and therefore, I like clothes with a bit of a swagger - mannish clothes that you can wear with a lot of feminine, sweet tops. I put my own looks together - a favourite coat, a bit of vintage, a bit of high street Picture Quote #1

I love being a grandmother. That feeling you have for your own child - you don’t ever think it will be replicated, and I did wonder if I would have to ‘pretend’ with my grandchildren. But my heart was taken on day one Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The concept of Shwopping is so clever, I think. The idea is that every time someone goes shopping, they can take an unwanted item of clothing and pop it in the recycling bin in their M Picture Quote #1

I think handbags, not so much clothes anymore, but I think you can tell a fashion victim by their handbag Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a spiritual person. I don’t really go to church often when services are on, but I like going in when they are empty and quiet, and just sitting there and thinking for a little while Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you’re an enthusiast and you love the world like I do, it comes naturally. But I think charity must become more fun to give, more interactive and imaginative Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You see, there weren’t these magazines like ‘Heat’ in my day. Always waiting to trip up these pretty girls and make them seem something horrible, something to make them look stupid and small and ugly and disgusting Picture Quote #1

I quite often don’t have breakfast, and I never have lunch. I find it helps not to wake my stomach up because if I had a good big breakfast, I would be ready for a snack at 11 and then a three-course lunch, then I’d be ready for tea, then a cocktail and then an enormous dinner Picture Quote #1

If you haven’t understood that if you are born you die, you scarcely deserve to be able to be alive Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve always used my hair for whatever it is needed for. I had it an inch long and jet black for a Pinter play I did. Changes you completely Picture Quote #1

There’s an appetite for vigour in films. The camera loves a bit of movement. Movement is usually attached to younger people and men, and that’s just the way it is. I think that it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s a fact that there aren’t going to be masses and masses of roles for older women because there isn’t the audience for it Picture Quote #1

I think we could jam a bit more in our coffins than we do. I’m going to have some books, some I haven’t finished or haven’t read, some feathers and nice bits and pieces, the odd note. Just on the journey for the next bit Picture Quote #1

All the trouble you will cause by not leaving a will. All the heartache! Family feuds are going to happen anyway, so be as clear as you can. And even if it’s only to leave it to the cat’s home, make a will Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I haven’t got a very sweet tooth, but I love salted things like nuts. I would have to be dragged in by a lorry if I ate as many salted peanuts as I would like to Picture Quote #1

I can’t see any difference in having your hair dyed, your teeth fixed, your nose done, or your face smoothed out or lifted Picture Quote #1

There was one ‘crime’ during the whole time I was at school, when a fountain pen went missing. Stealing just didn’t happen. I was taught not to shoplift, not to steal, not to behave badly. We weren’t even allowed to drop litter Picture Quote #1

When you’re young, you think life is forever, but it’s finite. I’m 68, so even by the maddest measurements, I’m in the last bit of life Picture Quote #1

I’ve been given this blessing, which is my granddaughter. You’re no longer just you. You suddenly fit into the chest of drawers of life Picture Quote #1

Film work is hard work. It’s long days, and quite often quite dismaying locations you have to be in Picture Quote #1

If your family loves you, you’re fine. What you can’t grow up without is love Picture Quote #1

Clothes that are too tight make you look bigger. If you’ve been trying to shed pounds, and it doesn’t go, buy the next size up. I never care what size my clothes are Picture Quote #1

In petrol stations on the motorways where people have left the place looking messy, I clear up each lavatory I happen to have occupied. When people drop paper on the ground, and everything like that, I pick it up, put it in the lavatory, and make that room look nice Picture Quote #1

I was 21 and had been going out with my boyfriend for two years when I found out I was pregnant - despite being told by doctors that I was sterile. Jamie’s father and I hadn’t discussed marriage, and to me, it wasn’t something to be entered into just to stop gossip Picture Quote #1

I would do anything to keep looking the job. I think you make an extra effort if you’re on show Picture Quote #1
