Joanna Lumley

“I'm a great believer in not looking back.”

“I am a vegetarian. I don't eat fish. I don't eat meat. I don't eat that.”

“I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.”

“I've never been a feminist. I'm a woman, I'm a human being, but I'm not a feminist.”

“The thing I'm most proud of is that I've been a working actress.”

“I've got a very strong feeling about the Gurkhas. They are the most fantastic people.”

“Open your mind to every form of beauty.”

“I always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I'm a little surprised that British Intelligence has never approached me.”

“I don't think you can have a sense of entitlement and be happy.”

“I think people are born to be travelers.”

“All I ever wanted to be was a Bond girl. That was the ultimate.”

“You can't have a laugh with a nutty-slack. It's the same with people who don't eat. You can't have a good time with them.”

“Courage and kindness, loyalty, truth, and a love of all things beautiful. These are the qualities I am looking for.”

“Kindness is the greatest of all virtues.”
