I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot. Cherie Lunghi analyticangrybrain Change image and share on social
At the beginning of my acting career, I worked for two seasons at the RSC and spent a lot of time in the Cotswolds exploring Shakespeare's countryside. It's my kind of English landscape, with its tiny villages and one-room thatched pubs. Cherie Lunghi actbegincareer share on social
I just want to say to women, 'Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.' Cherie Lunghi beautycountfriend share on social
Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, the higher your profile, the more castable you are in TV dramas. Cherie Lunghi badcastabledrama Change image and share on social

I grew up in the Fifties, and the majority of people in my class had fathers living at home. I was very aware that I was in the minority. I had a foreign name, and my daddy didn't come and pick me up from school. I felt like an outsider, which probably helped me as an actress. Cherie Lunghi actressawareclass share on social
I ski every three years or so. I don't have the ingrained confidence that others do, but I'll happily toddle about a green or blue run. Cherie Lunghi blueconfidencegreen Change image and share on social
I'm lucky to have very good genes. My mother was so tiny she was almost bird-like, and my father was tall and lean. Both lived until their early 80s. Cherie Lunghi 80sbirdearly Change image and share on social
I have that precious commodity - freedom. I can live my life a day at a time, and I am open to whatever the next day brings. I know I sound as if I have been off with some guru in India, but I haven't. I've come to realise the value of being able to decide for oneself. Cherie Lunghi bringcommodityday share on social
The advantage of age is that you swap youth for wisdom. You're so full of insecurities when you're young. 'Who am I? What do I have to do for people to like me?' You get caught up in things. You get very emotional about things. Cherie Lunghi advantageagecatch share on social
