Joanna Lumley

Famous quotes by Joanna Lumley:

"What's disconcerting is when you do meet them they look at you with your own eyes in a slightly different face."

"They're not group animals, they're completely solitary, so if the baby's mother is taken away, there's no system of aunts ... their whole system is destroyed."

"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room."

"I never mind scrubbing floors, vacuuming or bending and carrying stuff. Each time I do it I think, this is instead of going to the gym."

"I've never felt the constraints of social acceptability."

"I'm aware of my body."

"Hundreds of political prisoners still suffer in Tibetan prisons. Freedom of speech is not allowed in any sense. It is illegal to possess a photo of the Dalai Lama."

"In Kenya you've got the great birds and monkeys leaping through the trees overhead. It's a chance to remember what the world is really like."

"I would do anything to keep looking the job. I think you make an extra effort if you're on show."

"You have to feel more involved than just writing out a cheque. Charity is almost the wrong word - I think people are beginning to feel more responsible for the world."

"We transported eight giraffes, and there are now nine because one gave birth to a male shortly afterwards. They carry their pregnancies very well-they all looked the same."

"I have a toy giraffe on my bed. I've got photographs over my desk as well as a mask of a giraffe in my kitchen. I am totally hooked."

"Though I was a mother at 21, being a grandmother makes the whole thing absolutely normal and gorgeous. The relief, the joy of being a grandmother is wonderful."

"I've got lots of good friends. I could have affairs. I can read a book all night, put the cat on the end of the bed. I can pick up my passport and go to France. I don't have to ask anybody."

"NASA space scientists have been studying giraffe skin so they can apply what they learn from it to the construction of spacesuits."

"I find it a great antidote... lipstick and mirrors and hairspray."

"It's an incredibly difficult thing to bring a giraffe down. They can kill a lion with a single blow from their feet."
