Emma Thompson Quotes
A lot of people in my world - in the acting world - have either lost friends to Aids or live with HIV because its origin in our culture, in New York for instance, was in the gay community. - Emma Thompson Quotes
And its 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 Ive seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why dont we have that here? - Emma Thompson Quotes
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isnt listening. - Emma Thompson Quotes
But certainly in Uganda, Mozambique and South Africa, people dont 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. - Emma Thompson Quotes
But when I lose my temper, I find it difficult to forgive myself. I feel Ive failed. I can be calm in a crisis, in the face of death or things that hurt badly. I dont get hysterical, which may be masochistic of me. - Emma Thompson Quotes
Children are the most wonderful audiences. Whats struck me most is that that they watch it so silently, until the end when they shriek and shout and clap. - Emma Thompson Quotes

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 isnt much of a stretch. - Emma Thompson Quotes
I have had lots of friends whove been affected by Aids and a very good friend of mine, Oscar Moore, died of Aids and I was with him in his last year quite a bit. And of course he was a man living in a very rich culture with a wealthy family who was able to afford health care. - Emma Thompson Quotes
I think if you took charities and NGOs out of the mix, certainly in developing countries, you would find that there would be huge trouble immediately. - Emma Thompson Quotes
I think that my work is my attempt, I suppose, is to try and become a piece of connective tissue. Im trying to communicate with people here and in America - in rich countries - about what I see on the ground in badly affected areas. - Emma Thompson Quotes
I think the point about ActionAid is what its asking people to do is engage with poor people in developing countries and understand what their lives are like and understand how the way we live our lives impacts on theirs. - Emma Thompson Quotes
Ive a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments. - Emma Thompson Quotes
If you dont want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food, you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights. - Emma Thompson Quotes
If youve got to my age, youve probably had your heart broken many times. So its not that difficult to unpack a bit of grief from some little corner of your heart and cry over it. - Emma Thompson Quotes
Indeed - judicious, consistent parenting is a dream of mine. No judgements, learning space and listening carefully are my goals. - Emma Thompson Quotes
It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly. - Emma Thompson Quotes
Its unfortunate and I really wish I wouldnt have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. Theyre kinder. - Emma Thompson Quotes
My appearance has changed a lot over the years, but it has far more to do with how I feel about being a woman. - Emma Thompson Quotes
My worst quality is impatience. - Emma Thompson Quotes
Tell him I mind having to look pretty, thats what I mind, because it is so much more of an effort. - Emma Thompson Quotes
The Catholic Church - its so difficult because I dont 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. - Emma Thompson Quotes
The fact is that young people are going to have sex whether you like it or not. - Emma Thompson Quotes
The trouble is its very difficult to pin-point the most important thing because Aids affects everyone in different levels of society, differently and you have to respond to it differently. - Emma Thompson Quotes

We belabour, I think, under a very heavy crust of consumerism really. - Emma Thompson Quotes
