More quotes by Natalie Portman
The fact that [Hillary Clinton] is pushing for paid family leave and also for [affordable] childcare will make a huge difference for working women who aren't as lucky as I am to be able to hire a nanny when I work. And who aren't lucky enough to necessarily have their husbands be able to take off work. That will make a huge, huge difference.

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'm always on the phone because I'm usually not with the people I want to be with.
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
Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.
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
Your relationship with your husband should be an important part of your private life, but publicly you should be able to define yourself.
Natalie Portman
I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years.
Natalie Portman
I mean the Internet is like the luckiest thing - we have everything at our fingertips right now.
Natalie Portman
Point shoes are torture devices.
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
The moment you buy into the idea that you're above anyone else, is the moment you need to be slapped in the face.
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

Breast implants gross me out. I don't think they're attractive at all.
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.

And then there is Cate Blanchett. She is different all the time.
