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
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.
Naomie Harris
Kids should be naughty and go through that rebellious phase I didn't have.
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.

I've never been that person who wants a Rolls Royce or wants to live in a mansion or what have you.

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
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
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
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
Powerful women are the most interesting to play.
Naomie Harris
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 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
You don't need to follow trends to be stylish.
Naomie Harris
I usually look in my eyes to tell the truth of how I'm feeling that day.
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
To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
Naomie Harris
When I have finished a job, done all the promotion, and it's been received well. Then I can allow myself the luxury of a break, and chilling out with my family and friends, and taking a nice break knowing I've done a good job.
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.
