More quotes by Kristin Scott Thomas
After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.
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
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
I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.
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.
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
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.

I never raise my voice!
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 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
Successful films are very dangerous things.
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 do consider myself as being French, I suppose.
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
Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.
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
At school, I always wanted to belong to a gang, and no one would have me. So I'd have make my own gang, but with everybody else's leftovers.
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
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
If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.
