More quotes by Emma Thompson

Emma Thompson
I was brought up by very witty people who were dealing with quite difficult things: disease and death... I was brought up by people who tended to giggle at funerals.
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
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
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
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
