More quotes by 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
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 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 have always been interested in gender politics, so I'm not that keen on doing things that don't represent a truth about women.
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 would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
Romola Garai

Romola Garai
I'm fundamentally a busy person I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!

If you are an actress in L.A., on your 40th birthday they should just hand you the keys to the lunatic asylum.
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 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
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
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
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
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
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'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 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
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
Romola Garai
We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.
