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
I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

Kristin Scott Thomas
Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.
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
We all come in different shapes and sizes, and that's fine by me.
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'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 think I'm inspired mostly by other artists that aren't actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave.
