"Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening."

Emma Thompson

"The trouble is it's very difficult to pin-point the most important thing because Aids affects everyone in different levels of society, differently and you have to respond to it differently."

Society

Quote_1.png
Emma Thompson
"I think that my work is my attempt, I suppose, is to try and become a piece of connective tissue. I'm trying to communicate with people here and in America - in rich countries - about what I see on the ground in badly affected areas."
