My worst quality is impatience...

My worst quality is impatience.

Sometimes you'll have some thi...

Sometimes you'll have some things, and sometimes you'll have other things. And you do not need it all at once; it's not good for you.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

Tell him I mind having to look...

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

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 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?

I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

We need men and women to sit d...

We need men and women to sit down and talk to each other about sex honestly and openly. That would help us fight Aids so immediately. But our lack of communication is hugely problematic.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

During an election, it's like ...

During an election, it's like they're doing my job: they're going around banging the drum for their party and selling their movie. You know, it's the same thing.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

I don't mean being famous is a...

I don't mean being famous is a perk, because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk, but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like, I don't know, general friendliness and willingness to please, just to point out two.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

I hate the way market forces t...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

I have a nervous breakdown in ...

I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

I have had lots of friends who...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

I think the point about Action...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

If you're actually allowing yo...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

It is remarkable how many misc...

It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

It's not my fault that there i...

It's not my fault that there is this gap between rich and poor, it is the fault of governments. I want a different world. One where I don't wake up thinking I'm so lucky to be able to feed my daughter.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

London has always been a haven...

London has always been a haven for victims of cruelty, and been improved by them. Yet I can see it changing now. Outsiders are demonised, there are little bits of legislation, people are scared.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

My mother has never approved o...

My mother has never approved of high heels. As a result, I have never been able to walk in high heels - and they were all I ever wanted. So of course, my daughter has two pairs.

Emma Thompson 03.03.2018 03:03:03 167 quotes

The only way you can have it a...

The only way you can have it all is by delegating all the running of the home to other people - which I don't ever want to do... So you do it yourself, and it takes time and energy and effort. And if you give it the time, it's profoundly enjoyable.
