Shirley Eaton quotes:

I combined theatre and films with live TV, such as 'The Royal Variety Show,' performing sketches opposite Bob Hope and Maurice Chevalier.

I worked with Roger Moore on three episodes of The Saint. He is a lovely man, a good director, and was my favourite actor to work with.

It seems unfair that anyone can set up on Twitter using my name, or the name of any famous person, without any checks at all.

Psychologists say don't expect your life to be happy all the time. I go with the philosophy that every day can't be tops. Life is not like that - it's up and down.

I don't even want to be on Twitter. I think it's abhorrent, people sending messages to say they're doing the washing-up or whatever.

I've always been a creative person, and I'd always wanted to paint, so I went to art school and began painting and sculpting.

I am a great believer in naps, whatever age you are.

A career is a career, but youre a mother until you die.

I eat what I want but in moderation.

I'm very expressive, but I'm also a very private person. It is so hard to be private in the entertainment business. I'm really glad that I was famous and successful at the time I was because it was bad enough then in a profession which tended to eat you up and never give you any free time. But I think that the youngsters today have a really bad time from every angle.
