There is that thing about not working with animals and children - I don't think that's true. Although you should never work with donkeys.
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
The films I've made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best.

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.
