"Tony [Anthony Hopkins] had just become more famous than God in Silence of the Lambs and my mother had known him from, like, yonks ago from drama school or something like that 'cause she was sort of his age. And she sent me into reheresals with a little note saying, "Please don't eat my daughter."" -- Emma Thompson, on working with Anthony Hopkins in Howards End and support from her mother, Scottish actress, Phyllida Law.

I don't know why I love this story so much but I could listen to Emma Thompson for hours. From her GQ interview.

FInding out these two are actually mother and daughter in real life has changed my entire world view. Wtf. I have to go watch this movie again.

irrelevantly, they're also Emma Thompson's mother and sister.
