Kristin Scott Thomas
Successful films are very dangerous things.

I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.
Kristin Scott Thomas
My children are lovely. They're perfect.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.

It's very hard having a career in different continents and two different languages.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Often, the roles I'm offered in England are melancholic women who are filled with regret for the past, regret for their fading beauty.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.
Kristin Scott Thomas
As a younger actor you want to be approved of, you want to gain respect, be admired. All of those things. To say: 'This is me playing this character. And aren't I fantastic!' I don't feel that so much now.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Films are just consumables.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!
Kristin Scott Thomas
I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.
Kristin Scott Thomas
