More quotes by Romola Garai
I'm fundamentally a busy person I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!
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
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
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.

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.

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
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 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 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 cheated at the Model United Nations when I was 13 and had to get up and apologise in front of the whole conference.
Romola Garai
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
Romola Garai
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
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
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 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 would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
