More quotes by Natalie Portman
Breast implants gross me out. I don't think they're attractive at all.
Natalie Portman
We live in a violent world, but since the success of films like Pulp Fiction, it seems every movie has some violence in it, and it's now being used as a form of comedy: audiences are now being encouraged to laugh when people get their heads blown off. I just don't like hearing people laugh at violence.
Natalie Portman
You know, I get much more Jewish in Israel because I like the way that religion is done there.
Natalie Portman
Well, right now, I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.
Natalie Portman
It's a lot easier to make friends when you're younger, because kids are a lot less judgmental than adults. They're more like, O.K., let's be friends. Not, So, what's your job? What's your marriage status?
Natalie Portman
The moment you buy into the idea that you're above anyone else, is the moment you need to be slapped in the face.
Natalie Portman
It's horrible to be a sex object at any age, but at least when you're an adult you can make the decision if you want to degrade yourself.
Natalie Portman
It doesn't matter if you mean to do the right thing - if you only do bad things. You need to learn how to do right things. Doing is what affects people.
Natalie Portman
The best thing you can hope for, when you make a movie and you put your soul into it, is that people respond to it well.
Natalie Portman
Even [Donald Trump] presence was bullying, was lurking, and was just mainly creepy.
Natalie Portman
I really want to get the word out to people to register because of course, the more people vote, the more our democracy works.
Natalie Portman
As I look back on it, I'm glad that I had this false image. I was who everyone else - my parents, my friends, society - wanted me to be. I was a pleaser, someone who wanted to make everyone happy, to not let anyone down. Now, I'm not like that.
Natalie Portman
I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.
Natalie Portman
There were, like, 20 of [Jackie Kennedy's biographies], which was interesting because they are not exactly high literature - they are pulpy.But the [Arthur] Schlesinger transcripts ended up being the most useful of anything.
Natalie Portman
Sometimes just watching a person doing the things they would only do at home lets you know who they really are.
Natalie Portman
If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
Natalie Portman
I grew up in the classic American-Jewish suburbia, which has a whole different sense of what it means to be Jewish than anywhere else in the world.
Natalie Portman
Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
Natalie Portman
I honestly don't even really want to think about it [if Donald Trump wins] I'd rather focus on how wonderful Hillary Clinton is.
Natalie Portman
We live in a small world, and we all are affected by everything that happens everywhere. And to look at it less selfishly, we also need to be grateful for the luck of where we're born and how we ended up where we ended up.
Natalie Portman
