Kristin Scott Thomas

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.

There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.

I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.

There are two problems for our species' survival - nuclear war and environmental catastrophe - and we're hurtling towards them. Knowingly.

I don't think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile and they used to say, 'Give us a blank look.' It was really difficult not to smile.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
