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.

More quotes by 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
Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
Natalie Portman
I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.
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 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
And then there is Cate Blanchett. She is different all the time.
Natalie Portman
I think Hillary Clinton has made great strides in doing so, even though there are people who want to bring us back to the '50s and still define a woman by her husband and her husband's legacy. But she has proven herself to be a force on her own and is an example to us of how women should and can be judged on their own merits.
Natalie Portman
Hillary Clinton wants to extend the Obamacare rule that healthcare companies cannot discriminate against women and charge them more than men for their healthcare. [Donald] Trump wants to get rid of Obamacare.
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 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
Hillary Clinton wants to push for equal pay and for paid family leave and for better and cheaper childcare.
Natalie Portman
I was really into dancing, taking six classes a week, and my real dream was to be in a Broadway show.
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
Our generation has the ability and the responsibility to make our ever-more connected world a more hopeful, stable and peaceful place.
Natalie Portman
The good news is we have the technology and the tools to alleviate poverty on a global scale. All that is standing in our way is education and will.
Natalie Portman
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
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
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
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
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.
