More quotes by 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.
Natalie Portman
I can sleep a whole day. If no one woke me up, I would sleep for 24 hours. I think it's a combination of my age and my appreciation for sleep. Sleep is so wonderful. Sometimes you can oversleep and feel like you've waster your time, but I think it's one of the bestways to spend your time.
Natalie Portman
Your director is your everything and you devote yourself to them and you want to help create their vision.
Natalie Portman
Sometimes people say something to you and you're like, I respect you so much, I love what you do, but I disagree. I don't think that's right for the way I see it.

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
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 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.
Natalie Portman
I really want to get the word out to people to register because of course, the more people vote, the more our democracy works.
Natalie Portman
It's a lot easier to make friends when you're younger, because kids are a lot less judgmental than adults. They're more like, O.K., let's be friends. Not, So, what's your job? What's your marriage status?
Natalie Portman
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
Our generation has the ability and the responsibility to make our ever-more connected world a more hopeful, stable and peaceful place.
Natalie Portman
I'm not a perfectionist, but I like discipline. I'm obedient, but I'm not a perfectionist. I think it's important to work your hardest and be as kind as possible to everyone you work with. The goal, every day, is keeping focused on that.
Natalie Portman
I've been really, lucky and sometimes you think, 'Why? How did this happen to me - what did I do to deserve this?' And you realize how much it's just luck. And then you see that there's a lot of people who are not as lucky as you are, and I want to like share that luck, you know?
Natalie Portman
By the physicality alone it was evident that we have one person [who] is incredibly smart, incredibly tough, and able to deal with him in a very, very calm and intelligent manner. And [Donald Trump] thought he was on The Jerry Springer Show.
Natalie Portman
As I get older, I'm more relaxed and less concerned with what people think of me
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
The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.
Natalie Portman
