More quotes by Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.
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
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 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
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
Having a career is a bit like navigating an Atlantic crossing - you have to make sure everything is keeping and is balanced.
Kristin Scott Thomas
If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.

Kristin Scott Thomas
When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.
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
If you're feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you're different.
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
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 think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Everyone loves to hate a spin doctor.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Successful films are very dangerous things.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I'm very good at forgetting people.
Kristin Scott Thomas
The Cannes film festival is about big-budget films but also remarkable films made in different political regimes by film-makers with little resources.
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
