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.

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
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
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.

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.

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 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.

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'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've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.
Romola Garai
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
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 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 can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
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
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
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
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.

The worst thing you can do as a performer is to judge your character in any way, positively or negatively.
