“'The English Patient' was a huge turning point in my career and my lif...” — Kristin Scott Thomas Quote

“'The English Patient' was a huge turning point in my career and my life; it became this huge thing. But the whole Oscar build-up got completely out of control; I spent more time talking about that film than I spent making it!”

“In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'”

“As actors, we're always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it's not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.”

“I'd like to win an Oscar.”

“You have to love your job. If you are an actor, you have to have a dream to get an Oscar, not just to earn money. When you get your Oscar, you earn money too. But this is second.”

“I guess I really haven't thought much about winning an Oscar, but if I had the opportunity, I'm sure I would like it.”
