More quotes by Kristin Scott Thomas
I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.
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
You have to think about whether that Mercedes-Benz you have is actually worth how much it costs to you.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.
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
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.

If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.
Kristin Scott Thomas
People will now go to films with subtitles, you know. They're not afraid of them. It's one of the upsides of text-messaging and e-mail. Maybe the only good thing to come of it.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.
Kristin Scott Thomas
The parts I've been most successful in are the ones I've desperately, desperately wanted.
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
I think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm very good at forgetting people.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.
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'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
