Susannah York Quotes
“Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters.”“Seeing the family is a very important part of my weekend.”

“I feel I’d like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world.”
“Men find it difficult because I’ve got so much energy and hardly sleep at night, only four or five hours. I wake up in the early hours and potter around.”
“A relationship is lovely if you’re happy, comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there’s nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest.”
“I was brought up in Scotland and have always been a country person, although the town means a great deal to me, too.”
“I’ve struggled so hard to reign in my temper because it actually terrifies me.”
