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. Celia Imrie Read Quote
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. Celia Imrie Read Quote
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. Celia Imrie Read Quote
I would do nearly anything for a laugh, to tell the truth. And I’m a particular favourite with young men with earrings. Celia Imrie Read Quote
I watch people from the top of buses who don’t know they’re being watched. It’s quite fascinating. Celia Imrie Read Quote
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. Celia Imrie Read Quote
I love Monet – I’ve nicknamed him King Blob. When you go up to the painting, it’s a series of blobs – amazing. Celia Imrie Read Quote
Some people love Sundays; I don’t, particularly. I used to rather dread them when I was younger. I was brought up on Sunday roasts, which I’ve always loathed. If I didn’t finish my meat, I had to sit with it for most of the afternoon. No wonder I’m a vegetarian now. Celia Imrie Read Quote
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. Celia Imrie Read Quote
