Francesca Annis

I'm an actress, not a pinup.

I've never been too afraid of what other people have said, especially when I was younger, but I suppose that was the arrogance of youth.

I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.
