More quotes by Emma Thompson
I am who I am, and there is nothing I can do about that.
Emma Thompson
The thing that influenced me most in relation to 'Nanny McPhee' were the Westerns I watched with my father. All the Spaghetti Westerns all the Virginians all the High Chaparrals. Because if you think about the form, it's a stranger from out of town.
Emma Thompson
The insanity of consumption bothers me. Talk about the opiate of the masses. It ain't religion anymore. It's stuff.
Emma Thompson
You can't be a great mum and work the whole time necessarily those two things aren't ideal. We have an awful lot to work on and to debate about in relation to our working lives, because it isn't working for a lot of people, particularly for a lot of women.
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
I think the point about ActionAid is what it's asking people to do is engage with poor people in developing countries and understand what their lives are like and understand how the way we live our lives impacts on theirs.
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
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
The trouble is it's very difficult to pin-point the most important thing because Aids affects everyone in different levels of society, differently and you have to respond to it differently.
Emma Thompson
Its unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn't have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They're kinder.
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
During an election, it's like they're doing my job: they're going around banging the drum for their party and selling their movie. You know, it's the same thing.
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
The fact is that young people are going to have sex whether you like it or not.
Emma Thompson
The films I've made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best.
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
Lindsay Doran goes round the table and introduces everyone - making it clear that I am present in the capacity of writer rather than actress, therefore no one has to be too nice to me.
