More quotes by 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.

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 wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.
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
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
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
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
The worst thing you can do as a performer is to judge your character in any way, positively or negatively.
Romola Garai
We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.

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

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.
