We've got people looking at our seamy side and our sad side a lot of the time because that's easier. It's much more difficult to make a film about happiness with lots of jokes in it.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

Maybe I don't take myself so ...

Maybe I don't take myself so seriously any more. And I don't care how I'm judged. I'm past all that.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

If you're actually allowing y...

If you're actually allowing your creative part to control your writing rather than a more commercial instinct or motive, then you'll find that all sorts of interesting things will bubble up to the surface.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

Children don't need much advi...

Children don't need much advice but they really do need to be listened to and not just with half an ear.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

I understand what it's like t...

I understand what it's like to come with your family, and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say, 'She's got her daughter; she's got her husband.' Yeah, but she hasn't got anyone else.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

I do think that despite my be...

I do think that despite my best efforts to resist it, I am now a grown-up. It's due to lots of very difficult decisions that you make over a long period of time - about motherhood, wifehood, and work, and all the things that one has to make decisions about.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

There is that thing about not...

There is that thing about not working with animals and children - I don't think that's true. Although you should never work with donkeys.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

My appearance has changed a l...

My appearance has changed a lot over the years, but it has far more to do with how I feel about being a woman.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

I think that my work is my at...

I think that my work is my attempt, I suppose, is to try and become a piece of connective tissue. I'm trying to communicate with people here and in America - in rich countries - about what I see on the ground in badly affected areas.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

Tell him I mind having to loo...

Tell him I mind having to look pretty, that's what I mind, because it is so much more of an effort.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

Children are the most wonderf...

Children are the most wonderful audiences. What's struck me most is that that they watch it so silently, until the end when they shriek and shout and clap.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

I hate the way market forces ...

I hate the way market forces try to separate us out in to the appropriate demographic - basically in order to sell us things. We need to find stories that we can enjoy together, not separately.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

What was important was trying...

What was important was trying to create something that families could watch together and enjoy together.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

The thing that influenced me ...

The thing that influenced me most in relation to 'Nanny McPhee' were the Westerns I watched with my father. All the Spaghetti Westerns; all the Virginians; all the High Chaparrals. Because if you think about the form, it's a stranger from out of town.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

I have had lots of friends wh...

I have had lots of friends who've been affected by Aids and a very good friend of mine, Oscar Moore, died of Aids and I was with him in his last year quite a bit. And of course he was a man living in a very rich culture with a wealthy family who was able to afford health care.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

The trouble is it's very diff...

The trouble is it's very difficult to pin-point the most important thing because Aids affects everyone in different levels of society, differently and you have to respond to it differently.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

I think the point about Actio...

I think the point about ActionAid is what it's asking people to do is engage with poor people in developing countries and understand what their lives are like and understand how the way we live our lives impacts on theirs.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

And it's absolutely true that...

And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

If you don't want women to do...

If you don't want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food, you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights.

Emma Thompson 167 quotes

But when I lose my temper, I ...

But when I lose my temper, I find it difficult to forgive myself. I feel I've failed. I can be calm in a crisis, in the face of death or things that hurt badly. I don't get hysterical, which may be masochistic of me.
