More quotes by 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
As someone who was born in Israel, you're put in a position of defending Israel because you know how much is at stake.
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
Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.
Natalie Portman
I hear, more than ever, people actively searching for women to direct, actively wanting to finance women's films, which is not to say it is easy, but I think it's been a great instance of how journalism has put pressure on business to be more fair between genders.
Natalie Portman
I think that we, women, are so often defined by who our husbands are and what our husbands do. And it's time for that to end.
Natalie Portman
I also feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold.
Natalie Portman
I was really excited to get to shave my head - it's something I'd wanted to do for a while and now I had a good excuse. It was nice to shed that level of vanity.
Natalie Portman
My response was that more than half of Israelis are of Sephardic origin. Many of these Jews come from Arab lands and share the same physical skin color.
Natalie Portman
I love being a mum, but it's much more intensive work than being an actress - going to work feels like you've got a day off. Not that I want a day off from being a mum it's just perhaps I had this impression before that mums don't work. But they work more than anyone.
Natalie Portman
I'm pretty immature and get pretty embarrassed easily. I would check out once in a while certain shots to make sure that I felt OK because sometimes once you see it you realize it is fine.
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
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
In real life I'm not the one who's playing with guns or smoking.
Natalie Portman
Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.
Natalie Portman
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
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.
Natalie Portman
I campaigned for Hillary Clinton when she was in the primaries against [Barack] Obama, actually.
Natalie Portman
There are still vestiges of societal limitations on women. I tend to think that has to do with opportunities that are available - it says a lot that it's still sometimes the best opportunity for a woman to be able to advance herself.
Natalie Portman
I wonder how people decided that women were supposed to shave their legs and armpits
