More quotes by 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.

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
I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.
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
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
Romola Garai
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
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.

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
The worst thing you can do as a performer is to judge your character in any way, positively or negatively.
Romola Garai
We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
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
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
