More quotes by Romola Garai
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
Romola Garai
Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.
Romola Garai
I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.

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.

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 would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
Romola Garai
I'm fundamentally a busy person I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!

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
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
We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.
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
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
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
