Emma Thompson Brings Today’s Quotes

On looking her age:

If you look after yourself and you’re healthy, then you’ll have the energy to do things. But not to recognize getting older for what it is? I do think the infantilisation of our generation is one of the huge issues of our time. People wanting to be 35 when they’re 50 makes me think: “Why? Why don’t you be 50 and be good at that?” And also embody the kinds of choices that are sustainable at that age.

On whether there is less pressure for women to look a certain way than 30 years ago:

I think it’s still completely s***, actually. I don’t think there’s any appreciable improvement and I think that, for women, the question of how they are supposed to look is worse than it was even when I was young. When I was younger I really did think we were on our way to a better world and when I look at it now, it is in a worse state than I have known it. Particularly for women and I find that very disturbing and sad…nothing has changed.

… says 56 year-old Emma.
