Image
I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
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
Image
The parts I've been most successful in are the ones I've desperately, desperately wanted.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
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
Image
After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
You have to think about whether that Mercedes-Benz you have is actually worth how much it costs to you.
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.

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.

If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.
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.

You don't choose a film because it's made by a woman, you choose it because it's good.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
It's very hard having a career in different continents and two different languages.

People will now go to films with subtitles, you know. They're not afraid of them. It's one of the upsides of text-messaging and e-mail. Maybe the only good thing to come of it.
