More quotes by Kristin Scott Thomas
I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.
Kristin Scott Thomas
When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.
Kristin Scott Thomas
After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.
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
Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.
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 just don't see very many films. Because I make them.
Kristin Scott Thomas
If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm very wary of trust, you see.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I have never met a woman who works who doesn't feel guilty. I mean we all deny it like crazy but deep down there is always that voice saying you should be at home.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I think I'm inspired mostly by other artists that aren't actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.
Kristin Scott Thomas
There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.
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
