More quotes by 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
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
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
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
It is great to be a part of big-budget movies, but it is harder to feel like you are contributing, in the sense that it has such big machinery behind it.
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.

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
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 never make suggestions. I really don't. I know a lot of actors who get a part and then they dissect it and they want to change it and they want to add stuff. I'm always amazed and so impressed by actors who do that.
Naomie Harris
I've never been that person who wants a Rolls Royce or wants to live in a mansion or what have you.
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.
Naomie Harris
Powerful women are the most interesting to play.
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 have many different sides I can be the life and soul of the party - or a wallflower.
Naomie Harris
I started acting when I was seven. And I went to a local drama school which is very well-known in London. Because of that, I started getting jobs, and I worked all the time as a child, pretty much non-stop.
Naomie Harris
People have very strong opinions about how their national icons should be played.
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.
