You can tell when someone likes you just because you're in a movie, because all they talk about is the movie, and all they talk about is the movie business.
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

Basically I have, like, five really close friends - girls and guys. I like being friends with both because you can do different things with both.

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?'

I feel really urgent about this election. This is the first time in my voting life that I feel not only passionate about my candidate, but also that the alternative would be catastrophic. I want to help the best candidate win.
