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
You have to be careful when you're getting feedback because people will give you conflicting feedback all the time, but ultimately you end up following your own inner guide.
Natalie Portman
I'm always on the phone because I'm usually not with the people I want to be with.
Natalie Portman
I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years.
Natalie Portman
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.
Natalie Portman
I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.
Natalie Portman
I'm very interested in people who seem very negative and nasty and to go inside their world and see why they get that way. It makes you a little more sympathetic to them, even though I really don't want to be around those people.
Natalie Portman
I'm an only child. Which is kind of bad, because having a brother or sister is like another form of friendship. That's something I've missed out on, except I know that I couldn't be doing what I am doing now if I had brothers and sisters.
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
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
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
We live in a small world, and we all are affected by everything that happens everywhere. And to look at it less selfishly, we also need to be grateful for the luck of where we're born and how we ended up where we ended up.
Natalie Portman
I hear, more than ever, people actively searching for women to direct, actively wanting to finance women's films, which is not to say it is easy, but I think it's been a great instance of how journalism has put pressure on business to be more fair between genders.
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
We live in a violent world, but since the success of films like Pulp Fiction, it seems every movie has some violence in it, and it's now being used as a form of comedy: audiences are now being encouraged to laugh when people get their heads blown off. I just don't like hearing people laugh at violence.
Natalie Portman
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.
Natalie Portman
I don't know if the scripts are changing so much. I mean, I've been working for almost 25 years and made over 40 films and I worked with my first female director, on a feature, Planetarium. And it's still the only one.
Natalie Portman
Use Starbucks mints for every occasion—they're the strongest
Natalie Portman
I wonder how people decided that women were supposed to shave their legs and armpits
Natalie Portman
A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with.
Natalie Portman
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
Natalie Portman
