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.

More quotes by 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
It's quite a stark contrast between the candidates, in how they will change things for women. Hillary Clinton wants to appoint Supreme Court Justices who will protect Roe v Wade. [Donald] Trump wants to punish women for getting abortions and defund Planned Parenthood.
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 the press is doing a wonderful job of putting the pressure on the decision-makers in Hollywood to support more female directors.
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 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
I'm really good at mini-golf. You know, maybe not big person golf, but little person golf.
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
It is interesting just generationally that you see that people are much more comfortable, and that's part of life now for this next generation of actors and just people in the world. But for those of us who were living when it didn't exist, being in social media feels like the last thing you want to do .
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
If you're an actress or a musician, everyone thinks you're hot
Natalie Portman
A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with.
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
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
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'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
I couldn't be anorexic because I like food too much, and I couldn't be bulimic because I hate throwing up too much.
Natalie Portman
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.
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
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
