The films I've made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best.
Emma Thompson
Image
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
Image
I have a lot of people to thank but they're none of them here so I'm not going to bother.
Emma Thompson
Image
It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly.
