I understand what its like to come with your family, and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say, Shes got her daughter shes got her husband. Yeah, but she hasnt got anyone else. – Emma Thompson
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isnt listening. – Emma Thompson
I was brought up by very witty people who were dealing with quite difficult things: disease and death… I was brought up by people who tended to giggle at funerals. – Emma Thompson
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
