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.

However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.

In all animation, if it's done quickly, you'll know it. And if you're very slow and careful with it, it's going to look a little more beautiful. It's just compressing time into seconds.
