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.

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

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

Channel 4 are a great bunch of people to work with and the crew are lovely. Working at ITV was like being in the court of Caligula.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I was feeling a strong need to change, grow, and break with particular things that were going on in my life and my history, and the material was the perfect answer for that.
