He is incredibly intelligent and talented – if he’s written a song for me, it’s just the most wonderful present. He’s just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant at what he does. What’s really great about getting older is that down the road you meet people you haven’t seen for a long time and they’re still doing something you really admire.” Thomas’s film debut was as a topless French socialite in Under The Cherry Moon.

• “It was the pills I was taking; they had my mood really fucked up. I was already depressed and with the drugs it just became a vicious cycle of depression. And as if my drug problem wasn’t bad enough, when Proof died it was like, ‘Son of a bitch, what I am going to do now?’ I went through a lot when he died. It was the worst time in my life. It just gave me a real legitimate excuse, in my head at least, to use drugs. I didn’t care if my drug problem got worse at that point so I took more pills. And the more I said fuck it and took more pills, the higher my tolerance got. The higher my tolerance got, the more I needed those pills in my body just to feel normal and not feel sick. It’s a vicious cycle. I got over it all last year. I ended up coming out of all that shit that was cluttering my mind and as I came up out of the haze from the pills and everything, shit started to get clearer.” — Eminem, whose album, Relapse, drops tomorrow.

Even I wouldn’t buy some of them.” — Beyoncé. [Mirror]
• Speaking of age, you turn 49 next week. You’re famously candid about aging, especially for an actress. “They did tell me to shut up a long time ago: ‘You mustn’t say you’re 35, say you’re 30.’ I thought, ‘This is ridiculous! Why should I?’ In English and American cinema, people my age are immediately categorized into either campy, kind of clowny middle-aged women making them appear much older than they really do look or you’re playing someone’s grandmother. In Europe, we have this fantastic tradition of really enjoying women over 40, of that not being a taboo at all – people like Catherine Deneuve. Look at [Pedro] Almodóvar, the way he films women with such care and affection. The filmmakers here just love women who’ve been around a bit longer, they make those wrinkles look beautiful. In English or American films, they just want you to be old and shut up.” — Kristin Scott Thomas. [NY Daily News]
