Emma Thompson Quotes

I have to write for everyone. What really fascinates me is how you make films or make stories that can genuinely be shared by different groups Picture Quote #1

I think people say you shouldn’t work with children or animals, but you must only work with children Picture Quote #1

The flashbacks are parallel for me. You experience two storylines at the same time, and I’m not switching from one time to another Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

But certainly in Uganda, mozambique and South Africa, people don't really talk about sex and certainly religious leaders - some of them - up to now have been very unwilling to accept, for instance, the promotion of condom use Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

This morning, I went to wipe my hands on a tea towel, and while I was using it, it seemed like it felt a bit light. I unfolded it and realized my daughter had cut little bits out of it to make frocks for her dolls! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The Catholic Church - it's so difficult because I don't want say anything offensive but it makes me very angry that religious leaders from this faith have tried to respond negatively to sexual education and to the promotion of condom use Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don't think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there's some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything Picture Quote #1

When you need me, but do not want me then I must stay. But when you want me but no longer need me, I have to go Picture Quote #1

There is a painful difference between the expectation of an unpleasant event and its final certainty Picture Quote #1

I`ve realized that in all the great stories, even if there`s a happily ever after ending, there`s something sad Picture Quote #1

I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them Picture Quote #1

When husbands and fathers leave, their wives and daughters tend to value themselves less as a result Picture Quote #1

You can't be a great mum and work the whole time necessarily; those two things aren't ideal. We have an awful lot to work on and to debate about in relation to our working lives, because it isn't working for a lot of people, particularly for a lot of women Picture Quote #1

The films I’ve made for children have been my hardest work, my best, because kids deserve the best Picture Quote #1

Got up this morning and could not find my glasses. Finally had to seek assistance. Kate [Winslet] found them inside a flower arrangement Picture Quote #1

I’ve realized that in all the great stories, even if there’s a happily-ever-after ending, there’s something sad Picture Quote #1

My appearance has changed a lot over the years, but it has far more to do with how I feel about being a woman Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Can he love her? Can the soul really be satisfied with such polite affections? To love is to burn - to be on fire, like Juliet or Guinevere or Eloise Picture Quote #1

I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
