I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
When you make a film, you sign a contract with somebody, and it's not only legally binding but morally binding. You agree to give this man a certain number of weeks of your life, and you just go for it as much as possible. Because, whatever happens, the film is going to come out, so you might as well try very hard to make it a good one.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
At school, I always wanted to belong to a gang, and no one would have me. So I'd have make my own gang, but with everybody else's leftovers.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I was happy, I wasn't beaten, and I lacked nothing. But it wasn't what people expect - it was very much sort of pinching and scraping. I don't know how my mother did it.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
As actors, we're always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it's not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
People accuse me of being Methody, but I'm not at all. The one thing I don't want people to see is me. I don't want them to be able to recognize my faults and failures and qualities, and I won't use those things to spark off emotions or to illustrate.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
People are always saying, English, English, English rose, and I just feel so completely different.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I think I'm inspired mostly by other artists that aren't actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
The parts I've been most successful in are the ones I've desperately, desperately wanted.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I mean, if you're being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who's really smart, it's great. If you're being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn't happened very often - it can be very frustrating.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
Seeing The English Patient is wonderfully draining, but imagine acting in it for six months.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
If you make a film about a pig farmer in Wales and you are a huge hit as the pig farmer's wife, the next thing is you'll be asked to do a film about a sheep farmer in Scotland.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I have a feeling I will work for a long, long time. I like it a lot... and I don't know. I just have a feeling that I'm going to be one of those people who go on for ever.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I don't want to have to be pretty. I don't want to have to be adorable.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I can't get into all that physical stuff of having to have flawless skin... Sometimes you see people and it looks like someone's got an eraser and made their face a little blurry - their traits seem to go out of focus.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
French culture takes ageing very seriously. There's much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I am so bored with seeing stories about a mature man of 65 falling in love with a beautiful girl of 32.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
Exoticism can give you an edge: it makes people assume you're cleverer than you are and gives you the upper hand.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.
Quote by -Kristin Scott Thomas
I know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.
