More quotes by 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 quite disappointed that we're still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they're saying about women.
Romola Garai
Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.
Romola Garai
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
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
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've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.
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.
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
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 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
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
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 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 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
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
Romola Garai
I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
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 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
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
