It doesn't matter how good the movie is. What matters is what it takes during the opening weekend. It's slightly distressing sometimes but that's how it works.

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
We've got people looking at our seamy side and our sad side a lot of the time because that's easier. It's much more difficult to make a film about happiness with lots of jokes in it.
Emma Thompson
I think our hearts are very chemical and we change the way we see people according to how we feel about them. That's what love is, in a way.
Emma Thompson
Don't ever go on a diet. Just don't. Walk away. Diets are the spawn of Satan.

I Don't Need the nicotene patch, Penny - I smoke cigarettes.
Emma Thompson
Got up this morning and could not find my glasses. Finally had to seek assistance. Kate [Winslet] found them inside a flower arrangement.

We must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days are in fact here for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives.
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
I`ve realized that in all the great stories, even if there`s a happily-ever-after ending, there`s something sad.
Emma Thompson
I understand what it's like to come with your family, and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say, 'She's got her daughter she's got her husband.' Yeah, but she hasn't got anyone else.
Emma Thompson
What was important was trying to create something that families could watch together and enjoy together
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
Marianne Dashwood looks at gray skies and sees blue. That's all very well, and it's not something you ever want entirely to lose. But you must lose a little of it otherwise you're going to get wet.
Emma Thompson
If you don't want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food, you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights.
Emma Thompson
London has always been a haven for victims of cruelty, and been improved by them. Yet I can see it changing now. Outsiders are demonised, there are little bits of legislation, people are scared.
Emma Thompson
Children don't need much advice but they really do need to be listened to and not just with half an ear.
Emma Thompson
I don't mean being famous is a perk, because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk, but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like, I don't know, general friendliness and willingness to please, just to point out two.
Emma Thompson
Without the ice, the earth will fall
Emma Thompson
If there's a role you're playing and there's a great deal of material to explore because the person was real then it's a completely different preparation time and message to playing someone fictional.
Emma Thompson
I'm an atheist. I suppose you can call me a sort of libertarian anarchist. I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It's not enough to say that I don't believe in God. I actually regard the system as distressing: I am offended by some of the things said in the Bible and the Qur'an and I refute them.
