Emily Watson's quotes

I was a normal, rather dutiful child. I didn't even rebel as a teenager.
[on Lars von Trier's expressed sympathy for Adolf Hitler] What an idiot! I think he's sort of developed a habit of shooting his mouth off, just to make people laugh and for effect, and here he shot his mouth off in a way that was totally inappropriate.
I love my job, but to say why I do is quite hard. I can go a certain distance without doing it, and then I have to go back to work. It's like a hunger, or an appetite that you have to feed.
