I think you always need to be able to relate to your characters, but that doesn't necessarily mean...you have to understand why they do what they do, but you don't actually have to be like that yourself.

More quotes by Natalie Portman
In real life I'm not the one who's playing with guns or smoking.
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
I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
Natalie Portman
Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.
Natalie Portman
No one can live without friendship, because what would you do all day without friends?
Natalie Portman
It's always interesting to step into the enemy's shoes, and figure out what they're like.
Natalie Portman
Girls have girl/guy relationships because we are expected to be so emotional and sensitive and stuff, and sometimes you just don't feel like being that way.
Natalie Portman
I'm not a perfectionist, but I like discipline. I'm obedient, but I'm not a perfectionist. I think it's important to work your hardest and be as kind as possible to everyone you work with. The goal, every day, is keeping focused on that.
Natalie Portman
There's so much else to do in the world. To just be interested in doing films would limit my life.
Natalie Portman
I'm not really much of a genre guy. I think that audiences don't need that anymore where you just need a very specific genre. Audiences are very sophisticated, and as long as it's fun, it's okay and entertaining.
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'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
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.
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
Ballet really lends itself to that because there's such a sense of ritual, with wrapping the shoes every day and preparing new shoes for every performance. It's such a process. It's almost religious, in nature.
Natalie Portman
I usually run three or four times a week now. Pretty boring, but it's so worth is. It's done wonders for my mood
Natalie Portman
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
You have to be careful when you're getting feedback because people will give you conflicting feedback all the time, but ultimately you end up following your own inner guide.
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.
