A biography for Kristin Scott Thomashasn’t been written yet.
“I'm very lazy!”
“I'm very wary of trust, you see.”
“Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.”
“I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.”
“I'm very good at forgetting people.”
“I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.”
“I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.”
“I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!”
“It doesn't make you feel very good being mean and fierce; it is much nicer playing people who are kind and sweet.”
“You don't choose a film because it's made by a woman, you choose it because it's good.”
“I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother.”
“Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.”
“I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.”
“I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.”
“I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.”
“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.”
“I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.”
“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.”
“כולנו באים בצורות ובגדלים שונים, וזה בסדר מבחינתי.”
“זו תדמית שגויה לגמרי, זה אפילו ביזארי.”
