I'm very interested in people who seem very negative and nasty and to go inside their world and see why they get that way. It makes you a little more sympathetic to them, even though I really don't want to be around those people.

More quotes by Natalie Portman
The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.
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
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
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
It's always strange being a kid on the set, because you're treated like an equal when you're working. But then when you break, the other actors go back to their trailers to take naps and drink beer, and I have to, like, go do school.
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
It's a big honour to have people be excited about a movie that you make. That's the one thing that you want.
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
Sometimes just watching a person doing the things they would only do at home lets you know who they really are.
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
Actually I want to scare away method actors because it's a pain. It's like, 'Come on, what are you doing? It's not real. What are you doing? Oh, you're really brooding. Okay, good. Go to your trailer. I'll see you in an hour.'
Natalie Portman
I thought Hillary Clinton was remarkably elegant and intelligent and focusing on the issues even though her opponent was trying to bring the talk always to vulgar, low levels. Even his presence was bullying, was lurking, and was just mainly creepy.
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
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
It's always interesting to step into the enemy's shoes, and figure out what they're like.
Natalie Portman
As I get older, I'm more relaxed and less concerned with what people think of me
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
Even my life's not normal because I'm acting, right?
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'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
