More quotes by 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
I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!
Kristin Scott Thomas
Image
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
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.

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.

I never raise my voice!

Kristin Scott Thomas
Image

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 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
I'm very wary of trust, you see.
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 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.

Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.

Image
Having a career is a bit like navigating an Atlantic crossing - you have to make sure everything is keeping and is balanced.

Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.

After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.
