More quotes by 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
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.

Your boss is only human and just wants the best from you.

Mandela is this extraordinary individual who can inspire the world. Instead of wanting revenge after being brutalized, he showed the world how to forgive.
Naomie Harris
I never ever thought that I would be in a Bond film, ever, which is weird because I grew up loving these amazing movies.
Naomie Harris
I really, really love Daniel Craig as Bond.
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
It's more instinctive to want revenge, but we are also capable of immense amounts of forgiveness and love and a compassion that extends even to those who have brutalized us.
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
Kids should be naughty and go through that rebellious phase I didn't have.
Naomie Harris
I was really nervous, because I was certain it was going to be bigger than anything I'd ever done before. But I was relieved when I actually discovered that there was a family atmosphere on the set, with a brother-sister team, Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson running it all.
