I get quite disappointed that we're still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they're saying about women.

I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
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 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 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
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.

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.
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'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 would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
Romola Garai
I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.
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
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
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
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 wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.
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 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
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
Romola Garai
I'm fundamentally a busy person I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!
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
