More quotes by 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
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, 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 know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Successful films are very dangerous things.
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.'
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
I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.
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
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
Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.
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
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
It's very hard having a career in different continents and two different languages.
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
I'm very good at forgetting people.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.
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
After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.
Kristin Scott Thomas
If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.
