Joanna Lumley's Quotes

  • At boarding school I even kept mice in my underclothes drawer. It made me smell most attractive, as you can imagine.
  • Giraffes are completely tranquil-they have no predators as adults because there's not an animal in the jungle stupid enough to go for them.
  • Giraffes are fairytale animals, almost heraldic-as if from the land of fables. They have extremely beautiful faces, huge eyes, very sensitive nostrils and Oh, blue tongues!
  • Hundreds of political prisoners still suffer in Tibetan prisons. Freedom of speech is not allowed in any sense. It is illegal to possess a photo of the Dalai Lama.
  • I can't see any difference in having your hair dyed, your teeth fixed, your nose done, or your face smoothed out or lifted.
