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.

Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.
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
I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.

In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'
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 just don't see very many films. Because I make them.

Exoticism can give you an edge: it makes people assume you're cleverer than you are and gives you the upper hand.
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 wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm very wary of trust, you see.
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
Everyone loves to hate a spin doctor.
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
Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.
Kristin Scott Thomas
If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.
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
My body is a baby machine.
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
There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.
