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.

More quotes by 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 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 still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.

I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.
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.

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
Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.

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 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
With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening's show, and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Successful films are very dangerous things.
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
Films are just consumables.
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 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 have a feeling I will work for a long, long time. I like it a lot... and I don't know. I just have a feeling that I'm going to be one of those people who go on for ever.
Kristin Scott Thomas
In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'
