More quotes by 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.

I wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.

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.

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 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
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.

I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.
Romola Garai
I have a very strong, probably slightly aggressive personality, and so that just ends up coming out regardless of what I try to do.
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
Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.
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 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
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
Romola Garai
I would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.
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
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.
