More quotes by Emma Thompson
Girlfriends are vital ... Maggie [Gyllenhaal] and I will always see each other when Maggie's in London or I'm here. We'll always make time to sit and catch up properly.
Emma Thompson
I have a lot of people to thank but they're none of them here so I'm not going to bother.
Emma Thompson
Sometimes I get to put on posh frocks and be Madam Glamour, the vendor of my wares. My lovely friend Kath, a stylist, puts me into things I'd never dream of. But my real life is very different. It's very, very home-based - an intense domestic life, that's the core of everything.
Emma Thompson
Maybe I don't take myself so seriously any more. And I don't care how I'm judged. I'm past all that.
Emma Thompson
We need men and women to sit down and talk to each other about sex honestly and openly. That would help us fight Aids so immediately. But our lack of communication is hugely problematic.

I have had lots of friends who've been affected by Aids and a very good friend of mine, Oscar Moore, died of Aids and I was with him in his last year quite a bit. And of course he was a man living in a very rich culture with a wealthy family who was able to afford health care.

Emma Thompson
The best way [to survive] the red carpet is by wearing Ugg boots. But unfortunately, I have not yet managed to persuade the people who style me at these times to let me do that.
Emma Thompson
I want a different world. One where I don't wake up thinking I'm so lucky to be able to feed my daughter, and able to give people a clean drink of water. I don't want images of starving babies at the breast in my mind. I want that to change. And if I want that, I had better do something about it.
Emma Thompson
Anyone who tries to deny #ClimateChange looks a little bit bonkers.
Emma Thompson
I don't think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there's some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything.
Emma Thompson
I think that my work is my attempt, I suppose, is to try and become a piece of connective tissue. I'm trying to communicate with people here and in America - in rich countries - about what I see on the ground in badly affected areas
Emma Thompson
You can't imagine what satisfaction can be gotten from throwing a pie into someone's face.
Emma Thompson
[Fighting Climate Change] is important for every single person on the planet, which is why it has to be the greatest grassroots movement of all time. This is the battle of our lives. We're fighting for our children.
Emma Thompson
The films I've made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best.
Emma Thompson
The trick is to age honestly and gracefully and make it look great, so that everyone looks forward to it.
