More quotes by Naomie Harris
Only do acting, if you don't want to do anything else. And know that it's a tough journey with a lot of rejection along the way. You have to have a lot of self-belief.
Naomie Harris
I just feel incredibly lucky. I went to drama school and about 28 of us graduated. I graduated from drama school in 2000, and I would say about two of us are working and able to make a living out of it. It is a tough profession. To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
Naomie Harris
In some ways, except that in that movie [Skyfall] I was mostly screaming and running away from the bad guys, whereas in this one I'm generally jumping into the action and fighting with them. So, yeah, it was somewhat similar, but also very different.
Naomie Harris
I can't impersonate someone. That is not what I do. I can only take someone's essence and create a character out of that.
Naomie Harris
I try to be upbeat. I read this book which tells you to write down everything that you're grateful for each day. Now I'm constantly noticing all the little things that make me joyful.

Mandela is this extraordinary individual who can inspire the world. Instead of wanting revenge after being brutalized, he showed the world how to forgive.

I'm absolutely loving being part of Bondiana, and that not only am I a Bond girl, but I get to be an agent as well.
Naomie Harris
I am always interested in affecting people in some way, making them think about particular areas of history that they have never thought about or that they may have thought about in one way and then changing their view.
Naomie Harris
I always find filming stressful. I get very caught up thinking about my character - 'Am I doing it right? Should it be done this way?'
Naomie Harris
Getting to travel around the world and go to glamorous locations is certainly not what I had as a kid.
Naomie Harris
As a society we should be encouraging people out of the debt-culture mindset, not promoting it.
Naomie Harris
You don't want to just preach to people you want to get them emotionally involved, and I think you do that with a wonderful human story about one person's struggle.
Naomie Harris
Powerful women are the most interesting to play.
Naomie Harris
People have very strong opinions about how their national icons should be played.
Naomie Harris
When you film in Africa, it's almost like a character in and of itself because it is so beautiful and has this special magic that I've never experienced anywhere else. There is something so incredibly beautiful about the light.
Naomie Harris
It's true about the eyes being the window to the soul. Your face can be etched with worry, and twisted by ageing, but the eyes tell the true story of who you are.
Naomie Harris
To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
Naomie Harris
I'd like to believe that I would be able to give in the same way Mandela did, but in reality, I don't know whether that is true. It is much more likely that I would be left with an immense sense of injustice and immense desire for revenge.
Naomie Harris
Hollywood 'friends' are only after one thing. They're looking out for the next big thing, and they don't want to miss out on you just in case.
Naomie Harris
It was also great shooting in London at Pinewood Studios because of all its history. So many of the 007 movies were filmed there, as well as classics by everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Jack Nicholson to Martin Scorcese. It's like working on hallowed ground. So, I felt a responsibility to make sure I did as good a job as I possibly could.
