If you read, your book is kind of your friend, because it's like the book is telling you its story and you're being the listener.

More quotes by Natalie Portman
There were, like, 20 of [Jackie Kennedy's biographies], which was interesting because they are not exactly high literature - they are pulpy.But the [Arthur] Schlesinger transcripts ended up being the most useful of anything.
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
Point shoes are torture devices.
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
Even my life's not normal because I'm acting, right?
Natalie Portman
As someone who was born in Israel, you're put in a position of defending Israel because you know how much is at stake.
Natalie Portman
I couldn't be anorexic because I like food too much, and I couldn't be bulimic because I hate throwing up too much.
Natalie Portman
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
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.
Natalie Portman
And then there is Cate Blanchett. She is different all the time.
Natalie Portman
It's so much unwanted interest in your privacy that you don't want to invite anymore.
Natalie Portman
I think mainly it's an optics thing: to be able to visualize a woman in a position of power. It's going to be wonderful for all of us in every field.
Natalie Portman
Some relationships aren't true relationships. And it's usually when the other person does something really terrible that you realize it. And that's when it's time to move on.
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
It's always interesting to step into the enemy's shoes, and figure out what they're like.
Natalie Portman
The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.
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 always find it a little scary to say that I'm like a character.
Natalie Portman
I wonder how people decided that women were supposed to shave their legs and armpits
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.
