More quotes by Emma Thompson
It's such a cold night and it's the only time I've actively been grateful for menopause. I've been entirely comfortable.
Emma Thompson
Film is so much to do with perfection and how differently you can feel about someone at the beginning of the film and the end of the film.
Emma Thompson
But when I lose my temper, I find it difficult to forgive myself. I feel I've failed. I can be calm in a crisis, in the face of death or things that hurt badly. I don't get hysterical, which may be masochistic of me.
Emma Thompson
My worst quality is impatience.
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
I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments.
Emma Thompson

Emma Thompson
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
There is a painful difference between the expectation of an unpleasant event and its final certainty.
Emma Thompson
Constantly worrying about your reflection and criticizing your body, shape and size is an act of violence against yourself.
Emma Thompson
We have to reinvest, I think, in the idea of articulacy as a form of personal human freedom and power.
Emma Thompson
The Catholic Church - it's so difficult because I don't want say anything offensive but it makes me very angry that religious leaders from this faith have tried to respond negatively to sexual education and to the promotion of condom use
Emma Thompson
I have to write for everyone. What really fascinates me is how you make films or make stories that can genuinely be shared by different groups.
Emma Thompson
Children are the most wonderful audiences. What's struck me most is that that they watch it so silently, until the end when they shriek and shout and clap.
Emma Thompson
The fact is that young people are going to have sex whether you like it or not.
Emma Thompson
Don't ever go on a diet. Just don't. Walk away. Diets are the spawn of Satan.
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
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 think it's [the AIDS fight] the most important and most pressing one - I think it's a global emergency and I think in a way we all have to address it and engage with it because I think it's the biggest threat to the human race that we have ever faced.
Emma Thompson
I firmly believe there are books whose greatness actually enable you to live.
