Emma Thompson
It’s about time a 55-year-old British woman is the heroine of an action movie. I may have to write it.
Emma Thompson
Marianne Dashwood looks at gray skies and sees blue. That's all very well, and it's not something you ever want entirely to lose. But you must lose a little of it otherwise you're going to get wet.
Emma Thompson
Just write. It doesn't matter what you write. Just sit at your desk and write.
