I'm very good at forgetting people.

Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
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.

If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.

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.
