Kristin Scott Thomas—most recently seen onscreen (by at least a few people) offering up some expletive bombs in the direction of Ryan Gosling in Only God Forgives—has had enough. The actress told the Guardian over the weekend that she’s finished with the film industry—mainly due to boredom.

“I just suddenly thought, I cannot cope with another film . . . I realized I’ve done the things I know how to do so many times in different languages, and I just suddenly thought, I can’t do it any more. I’m bored by it. So I’m stopping.”

Thomas, 53, isn’t too pleased with the dearth of juicy roles for actress of her age, either. (Tina Fey’s Golden Globes joke that Meryl Streep’s performance in August: Osage County proves there are “still great roles for Meryl Streeps over 60” comes to mind.) Thomas told the paper that she no longer is content to play the “sad middle-aged woman,” lamenting that she is asked to “do the same things over and over, because people know you can do that, so they want you to do that.” As Thomas puts it: “I'm sort of, as the French would say, ‘stuck between two chairs,’ because I'm no longer 40 and sort of a seductress, and I'm not yet a granny.” Some evidence in support of her “stuck between two chairs” theory, per the Guardian: in 1996, Thomas played Ralph Fiennes’s lover in The English Patient; in 2013, she played the mother of Fiennes’s love interest (Felicity Jones) in The Invisible Woman. Since that’s enough to make us want to throw a sandwich at our laptop monitor in disgust, it seems reasonable Thomas would just decide to wash her hands with movies in general.

Thomas says she won’t be quitting acting entirely, thankfully. She’ll be taking to the stage. “When you are acting in a film, you’re giving the director the raw material to make the film,” she said. “But when you’re acting on stage, that’s it. And that’s when you discover that you can really do it. It's this word ‘trust’ that keeps coming to me. It’s not a question of whether one person is conning you into thinking you can do it, saying, ‘Oh, it was beautiful.’ On stage, if it works, it works.”
