I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.

Even my life's not normal because I'm acting, right?
Natalie Portman
Image
I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.
Natalie Portman
Image
No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough?
Natalie Portman

Actually I want to scare away method actors because it's a pain. It's like, 'Come on, what are you doing? It's not real. What are you doing? Oh, you're really brooding. Okay, good. Go to your trailer. I'll see you in an hour.'

Natalie Portman
Image
Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.
Natalie Portman
Image
If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.
Natalie Portman
Image
When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'
Natalie Portman
Image
Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
Natalie Portman
Image
In real life I'm not the one who's playing with guns or smoking.
Natalie Portman
Image
Hillary Clinton has a real history of uniting people, of being able to work with both Republicans and Democrats, of trying to fight for people's equal rights. Whereas we really see the polar opposite in her opponent.
