More quotes by Kristin Scott Thomas
It's very hard having a career in different continents and two different languages.
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
If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.
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
The parts I've been most successful in are the ones I've desperately, desperately wanted.
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
Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.
Kristin Scott Thomas
There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.
Kristin Scott Thomas
You know those drugstore kits that tell you when you're pregnant? They should have one that tells you when you're sane.
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 mean, if you're being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who's really smart, it's great. If you're being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn't happened very often - it can be very frustrating.
Kristin Scott Thomas
You don't choose a film because it's made by a woman, you choose it because it's good.
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 never raise my voice!
Kristin Scott Thomas
If you make a film about a pig farmer in Wales and you are a huge hit as the pig farmer's wife, the next thing is you'll be asked to do a film about a sheep farmer in Scotland.
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
Films are just consumables.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm very good at forgetting people.
Kristin Scott Thomas
