If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.

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.'

I wonder how people decided that women were supposed to shave their legs and armpits

If you're listening to music, then the music is your friend or if you're with a person, then that person can be your friend because you're communicating.
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
Image
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
Image
Where I live, nobody who's fourteen is having sex and doing major drugs. And I think if you see it in the movies, you may be influenced by it. I think it's so important to preserve your innocence.

Image
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
Image
I have nice ears. I have no lobes, which was disappointing for a while, but I've gotten over it and learned to love them. Being lobeless isn't the end of the world

It's a big honour to have people be excited about a movie that you make. That's the one thing that you want.

I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid.
