Celia Imrie (Celia Diana Savile Imrie) Quotes
If I look back, my mother was always out. I can remember the perfume and her scarlet chiffon dress and crystal beads, going to a party. She used to play her violin at restaurants later on in life and at old people's homes. She loved the races, which she used to take me to as a child: our carpets were bought with her winnings. Loved her chickens.

I wasn't very open-minded to a lot of music that I'd be more open to today.
