More quotes by Romola Garai
Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.
Romola Garai
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
Romola Garai
When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the '50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late '60s, there's an enormous difference. There had already been a huge transition. Then, of course, you get well into the '70s and there were women with children working.

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
We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.
Romola Garai
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.

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
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.
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 grumpy about the innate conservatism of our tastes I love bold theatre, and I get annoyed when a heritage piece is really successful.
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
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 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 can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
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 would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
Romola Garai
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 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.
