“Seeing The English Patient is wonderfully draining, but imagine acting...” — Kristin Scott Thomas Quote

Seeing The English Patient is wonderfully draining, but imagine acting in it for six months.

Movies make you immortal and ageless.

I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.

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

I think people do work too much. I've never been able to understand the whole 'make hay while the sun shines' thing. Either I want to work or I don't want to work.

When you give of yourself, it's draining.

When I first walked in to London, I was so overwhelmed by the village, the sheer volume of people. I was just so excited. You don't know what to expect. So the level of excitement was almost draining, just taking everything in. I was so exhausted after I swam because of all the excitement in the build-up.

Planned Parenthood is a tough place to work - the hours are long, the work is emotionally draining, the paperwork is endless, and the morale can run low.

My songs are very personal, which means they are fantastically therapeutic to write, but performing them night after night is emotionally draining.
