More quotes by 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
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 fact is that young people are going to have sex whether you like it or not.
Emma Thompson
Constantly worrying about your reflection and criticizing your body, shape and size is an act of violence against yourself.
Emma Thompson
The films I've made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best.
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
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
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
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
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
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.
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
Just write. It doesn't matter what you write. Just sit at your desk and write.
Emma Thompson
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.
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.
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
I think that my work is my attempt, I suppose, is to try and become a piece of connective tissue. I'm trying to communicate with people here and in America - in rich countries - about what I see on the ground in badly affected areas
Emma Thompson
Without the ice, the earth will fall
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.
