Romola Garai
I have a very strong, probably slightly aggressive personality, and so that just ends up coming out regardless of what I try to do.
Romola Garai
I think it took a long time for me to realise that as much as I respect reviews and do engage with reviewers as a viewer of the theatre, television and film it's really unhelpful. Even if people make perceptive and interesting comments about your performance, it is so subjective and you will come in and change what you do, you can't help it.
Romola Garai
I have always been interested in gender politics, so I'm not that keen on doing things that don't represent a truth about women.

Normally, when youre working on something, there are other characters that you have alliances with, and you have unified goals with some characters.
Romola Garai
I think if I was ever really going to be more serious about writing I'd have to try and find some way to do it with other people. I do find the silence kind of eerie.
Romola Garai
The worst thing you can do as a performer is to judge your character in any way, positively or negatively.
Romola Garai
Female ambition is such a complicated thing to play because it is an aggressive quality, and people respond very badly to women exhibiting any kind of aggression.
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
As a kid, I really loved 'Jane Eyre,' I used to fantasise that the past was so much better and my lifetime was crap.
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
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
