I've stood up to producers before, and even a director. I saw them being abusive. A lot of people on the set are scared to say stuff when they're not being treated right.

More quotes by Natalie Portman
If you read, your book is kind of your friend, because it's like the book is telling you its story and you're being the listener.
Natalie Portman
I don't know if the scripts are changing so much. I mean, I've been working for almost 25 years and made over 40 films and I worked with my first female director, on a feature, Planetarium. And it's still the only one.
Natalie Portman
Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they're foreign or share my health care benefits because I'm straight - but if you're gay, you can't have that?
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
If you're a person and care about other people - I don't think I have any sort of special understanding or anything, I think any feeling person would experience similar things if given the same opportunities to see the things I've been lucky enough to see and meet the people I've been lucky enough to meet.
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
Sure. I've never dated a woman of anything like that, But, I mean, I think it's much more the person that you fall in love with – and why would you close yourself off to fifty percent of the people?
Natalie Portman
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.
Natalie Portman
Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.
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
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
It's always interesting to step into the enemy's shoes, and figure out what they're like.
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
Obviously, in a friendship there are always things, good and bad, that go on between people. You can't take away what's already happened. And if it's something that's really terrible, I think you have to forget about the friendship.
Natalie Portman
Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.
Natalie Portman
Some relationships aren't true relationships. And it's usually when the other person does something really terrible that you realize it. And that's when it's time to move on.
Natalie Portman
I can sleep a whole day. If no one woke me up, I would sleep for 24 hours. I think it's a combination of my age and my appreciation for sleep. Sleep is so wonderful. Sometimes you can oversleep and feel like you've waster your time, but I think it's one of the bestways to spend your time.
Natalie Portman
Basically I have, like, five really close friends - girls and guys. I like being friends with both because you can do different things with both.
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
I like acting for now. But after seeing Apollo 13, what I really want to do is to be an astronaut. I'm dying to go to a space camp next summer!
Natalie Portman
