More quotes by Romola Garai
I just don't believe you're capable of being an actor unless you have a desire to experience your emotions in a public way.
Romola Garai
Women don't question themselves when they enter into a story that has male characters, but men do question the validity of a female narrative.
Romola Garai
I think I was quite lucky in that I went to an all-girls school. I was never put in an environment where I had to be the other - the woman as opposed to the man - all the way through my education. I was never made to feel that way at home.
Romola Garai
The worst thing you can do as a performer is to judge your character in any way, positively or negatively.
Romola Garai
The language of freedom-fighting was so co-opted by the baby boomers in order to express their now-hopelessly compromised ideologies that no other generation could emulate it without a smirk. This has created an apathetic generation in the West, with young people no longer distinguishing between the old order and the new.
Romola Garai
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
Romola Garai
When you're on stage, you build strong relationships with the actors, but it's a story you tell with the audience - you have to include them, you have to respond to them, they have to understand the narrative.
Romola Garai
Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.
Romola Garai
If you read reviews that you think by their very nature are not respectful of the actresses involved or not appreciating the work as it should be, I think you should write to reviewers or comment and say, Are you kidding me?
Romola Garai
I'm fundamentally a busy person I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!
Romola Garai
I really like films and plays that cross over different genres. So I'd like to do something that you think is a drama and then you think is a supernatural thing and then becomes a drama again. That's very vague.
Romola Garai
If you're going to make great art, you have to make it at a huge cost - you have to be prepared to sacrifice what other people think of you, other people's opinions, and you have to make personal sacrifices.
Romola Garai
I'm not interested in going to see films that massively overrepresent men over women. It's lik,e how much more have we got to say about this? Like men in war and dealing with their masculinity in conflict. I just think we've exhausted the landscape.
Romola Garai
I'd actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can't be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could.
Romola Garai
I don't really want to play parts that I think are not fully developed or fleshed out, especially with female roles.
Romola Garai
I wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.
Romola Garai
My alter egos have changed a lot over the years. When I was a child, I was a black horse called Storm. Whinnying and jumping over bamboo poles in the garden took up pretty much my entire childhood.
Romola Garai
I get quite disappointed that we're still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they're saying about women.
Romola Garai
I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
Romola Garai
I think it's very repressive for a woman to be constantly told that she has to make films about women to better represent women, but then the reverse is not found.
