Joan In Quotes

'The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.'

'The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.'

'Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.'

'If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.'

'I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.'

'I don't buy into you're on the slag heap when you're 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or whatever.'

'But I have had to give up certain things in my life. One is shopping. Two is lunch with the girls. Three is cocktail parties, and four is studying my lines.'

'And we have not found any generational gap at all. If he wants to go a football game, he goes. If I want to go to a fashion show, I go. We don't have to do everything together. But we like doing most things together.'

'Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.'
