Quotes
"I can't see any difference in having your hair dyed, your teeth fixed, your nose done, or your face smoothed out or lifted.""I like to keep up the image of smoking, only because it's getting such a bad press!"
"When you are in a country where nobody has ever seen television, people look at you with eyes that don't know who you are."
"I don't think men are that attracted by glamour. I think women are attracted by glamour. I think men are attracted by a sense of friendship."
"I've got lots of good friends. I could have affairs. I can read a book all night, put the cat on the end of the bed. I can pick up my passport and go to France. I don't have to ask anybody."

I have it on good authority that Joanna Lumley doesn't look as old in RL as she does in the papers but her teeth are still massive.
