Amanda Donohoe Quotes

I think the joy of any soap opera is it is always there. You are allowed into this world for a little while and it’s safe in that you are watching other people go through some troubles rather than yourself. It’s there every night, and there is something special about that sort of terrestrial television experience for a mass audience Picture Quote #1
I read, go for walks and I love to garden. My hands are such a mess. People think I should have movie star hands, but they’re just gardening ones. Always slightly grubby and with a bit of dirt under the fingernails Picture Quote #1
My sister is older than me and would often go off, so I grew up alone in a sense. I had to amuse myself and developed a wonderful fantasy world and quite happily lived in it. I think, in adulthood, that helped me. I love pottering on my own Picture Quote #1
Downton Abbey’ is one of my favourite shows ever - it’s just beautifully filmed, and the stories and characters are so wonderful Picture Quote #1
People say to me ‘You’re a big Hollywood star’, and I find it so funny. I still feel as though I’m the girl from Golders Green. I lead such a boring, normal life. I still go shopping in Sainsbury’s. If the ability to do that was taken away from me, I’d go barmy. You lose your freedom. Be careful what you wish for Picture Quote #1
I have always been a huge fan of reggae music. I remember going to see Bob Marley And The Wailers at the Hammersmith Odeon when I was 13. I went with my big sister, Cordelia, and it remains the most wonderful concert I’ve ever been to Picture Quote #1

If you build a career on being a beautiful young woman, that’s going to be a short career. I have to establish I can act. I don’t want to have to visit the plastic surgeon every two years Picture Quote #1
I don’t like posh hotels. I like small, eclectic hotels, and luxury for me would mean really good company with good food in a really funky, beautiful house in the middle of a field where someone came and serviced the place for us Picture Quote #1
My father worked for the Foreign Office, so he was away a lot of the time. We were a very volatile family. There was a lot of love and a lot of conflict. The conflict kicked in mostly during my adolescence Picture Quote #1
My preferred environment is by the sea or somewhere rural. I don’t want to be in a city, I don’t want to visit New York and I don’t want to go shopping Picture Quote #1
I have no regrets about not having children. I still wait for the pang of guilt, but I have none. I tune into the television show Nanny 911 occasionally which reminds me how much patience and love it take to be a good parent Picture Quote #1
I watch an awful lot of old Hollywood movies - Ill devour anything with Bette Davis or Joan Crawford. My absolute favourite is Sunset Boulevard starring Gloria Swanson Picture Quote #1

Soaps are one of the few areas on TV that really embrace older women. In drama, there’s this ridiculous invisibility for women between the ages of 40 and 60. Unless you’re old enough to play a grandmother, there just aren’t the roles Picture Quote #1
If all you’re doing is making money, you have a luxurious but empty life Picture Quote #1

I don’t think atheism means one does not believe in a spiritual life. I think it means one does not follow the tenets of the established religions Picture Quote #1

At 50 you’re more confident, more comfortable in your skin and you don’t put up with nonsense, especially from men Picture Quote #1
Your roots, your family, your friends all become so much more important to you as you get older, especially if you are a wandering minstrel like me Picture Quote #1
