Emma Thompson Filmography

• “As far as I can see, from Sharon Stone's love scene in BASIC INSTINCT, they molded her body out of tough Plasticine. She was shagging Michael Douglas like a donkey, and not an inch moved. If that had been me, there would have been things flying around hitting me in the eye.”
