Celia Imrie Quotes

There are actresses who’ve had expensive work done and look great, so I’m not holier-than-thou about it. But it wouldn’t be for me, perhaps because I’ve already been in hospital and wouldn’t want to volunteer myself for it again Picture Quote #1

If I look back, my mother was always out. I can remember the perfume and her scarlet chiffon dress and crystal beads, going to a party. She used to play her violin at restaurants later on in life and at old people’s homes. She loved the races, which she used to take me to as a child: our carpets were bought with her winnings. Loved her chickens Picture Quote #1

There’s a character I played in ‘Love in a Cold Climate’ - very like my mother. I asked if I could wear a man’s shoes and hat to feed the chickens: all things from her. In fact, every part I play has got an enormous amount of her in it Picture Quote #1

Mummy always wanted the five children, and she knew she couldn’t look after them all because she was this absolutely glorious woman who loved going to parties and going to the races, and she just didn’t have time Picture Quote #1

My mother Diana was a true-blue aristocrat, descended from William the Conqueror and listed in ‘Burke’s Peerage.’ My father David, from a poor Scottish family, was a doctor Picture Quote #1

I’ve made great friends through acting. When I’m with Victoria Wood and Julie Walters, we have grand fun. We can make each other howl with laughter because we know each other so well Picture Quote #1

I was never a pretty girl, so I wasn’t the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport. Sometimes I wonder if I do that too much with roles I play, because if I’m absolutely truthful, I quite like being the best friend, or the supporting role, and actually I ought to gear-change and make myself the leading role Picture Quote #1

I landed the role of Bravo 5, the only female fighter pilot in ‘Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.’ I did my bit and fired my guns, but I haven’t a notion of which side I was on or who I was firing the guns at Picture Quote #1

I have a horror of boring someone or, worse still, of someone boring me. I said to my mother when I was seven, ‘But, Mums, if it was only my husband and me in the house together, what would we talk about?’ I’ve never wanted to answer my own question, and doubt I’ll bother now Picture Quote #1

I love Monet - I’ve nicknamed him King Blob. When you go up to the painting, it’s a series of blobs - amazing Picture Quote #1

Anyone who goes on the stage is a show-off, aren’t they? Acting’s weird Picture Quote #1

A ‘naughty pickle’ is how I’d best describe myself. I think fun and laughter is the whole point of life Picture Quote #1

Anorexia taught me to love life and to realise that starving yourself to death is a bloody waste of time. It’s awful and it hurts so many people around you. It’s a terribly selfish thing to do Picture Quote #1

Anorexia is an awful thing, but you get yourself into it, and only you can get yourself out of it Picture Quote #1

Single by choice, just not my choice Picture Quote #1

I long for the day where we don’t have to talk about our age as actresses Picture Quote #1

Mummy always wanted the five children, and she knew she couldn’t look after them all because she was this absolutely glorious woman who loved going to parties and going to the races, and she just didn’t have time Picture Quote #1

Living as an actor is rather like living life on the trapezes in a circus. Every time you jump on, you have to pray that, when the time comes for you to jump off, there is another trapeze swinging your way Picture Quote #1

I love not knowing what’s going to happen next. With work, you never know. You rehearse and strive and get it right sometimes, and still you never know. Some people are like that with their marriages. They work and strive and labour and toil at them. God, what a bore! What an unromantic bore! Picture Quote #1

I left school the day I turned 16, the earliest day I legally could. Determined to follow a life on stage, preferably with some dance connection, I applied for and won a place at the local drama school. I was on my way Picture Quote #1

I’ve had to spend an awful lot of my life trying to pretend I’m not posh. Although once I open my mouth, I rather let things out the bag Picture Quote #1

I’m a bit of a fraud, really, as I didn’t study acting at a drama school Picture Quote #1

I would do nearly anything for a laugh, to tell the truth. And I’m a particular favourite with young men with earrings Picture Quote #1
