I've stood up to producers before, and even a director. I saw them being abusive. A lot of people on the set are scared to say stuff when they're not being treated right.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they're foreign or share my health care benefits because I'm straight - but if you're gay, you can't have that?
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
My dad's a doctor, and when I was 8, I went to one of his medical conferences where they were demonstrating laser surgery on a chicken. I was so mad that a chicken had to die, I never ate meat again.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I'm with my friends more than I'm with my parents, but I know more about my parents than I know about my friends. That's something you get out of living with a person.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I'm pretty immature and get pretty embarrassed easily. I would check out once in a while certain shots to make sure that I felt OK because sometimes once you see it you realize it is fine.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I think that most women know what happens that leads you to a point where you're not even looking for intimacy anymore. You're just looking for the physical side of it and not the emotional side of it.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I'm trying to use whatever attention is focused on me and divert it to something that really deserves the attention and try and sort of stay out of the way of the rest of the stuff.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
If you read, your book is kind of your friend, because it's like the book is telling you its story and you're being the listener.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
You really know a person when you sleep so near to them, or when you eat with them.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
If you're listening to music, then the music is your friend; or if you're with a person, then that person can be your friend because you're communicating.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I think the opportunities are all over the place - around your corner or in more exotic locales. But everyone finding their own interest - sometimes it's hard to know what you're interested in, I think.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
The good news is we have the technology and the tools to alleviate poverty on a global scale. All that is standing in our way is education and will.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Pointe shoes are torture devices. I mean, ballerinas get used to it, but it was definitely a new experience for me. They feel medieval. I was very happy to stop wearing them.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Part of my reason for being vegetarian was because it practices respect and love for life all through the day, so three times a day, you make a decision to eat things that have not been killed.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Some relationships aren't true relationships. And it's usually when the other person does something really terrible that you realize it. And that's when it's time to move on.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
If we can find ways to love life and be joyful without being wasteful or destructive--that's what's important.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Our generation has the ability and the responsibility to make our ever-more connected world a more hopeful, stable and peaceful place.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I studied psychology in school, and the best psychology is in literature. It's so much easier to understand a character than a theory. You can recognize yourself—or other people—in a different way.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I usually run three or four times a week now. Pretty boring, but it's so worth is. It's done wonders for my mood
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I couldn't be anorexic because I like food too much, and I couldn't be bulimic because I hate throwing up too much.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
There is a lot lacking on the intellectual side and on the values side when being an actor.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Sometimes it's better to forgive and forget. And sometimes, on the other hand, it's better to leave the friendship.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
People who take everything to heart trivia - the most capable of genuinely love.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I've always tried to stay away from playing Jews. I get like 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I hate the genre.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Sometimes just watching a person doing the things they would only do at home lets you know who they really are.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
My mom devotes so much of her time toward me. She's an artist, and my father is a doctor. I've been brought up in what you might call a pretty conventional family.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
No one can live without friendship, because what would you do all day without friends?
Quote by -Natalie Portman
It really wasn't my thing. It still isn't my thing, the whole science-fiction action thing. I prefer simpler, character-based movies.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I don't know if acting is what I want to do for the rest of my life, it's just what I've, you know, ended up doing when I was little, and I've kinda grown up with it.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I also feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I think that we, women, are so often defined by who our husbands are and what our husbands do. And it's time for that to end.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
You can tell when someone likes you just because you're in a movie, because all they talk about is the movie, and all they talk about is the movie business.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Hillary Clinton has a real history of uniting people, of being able to work with both Republicans and Democrats, of trying to fight for people's equal rights. Whereas we really see the polar opposite in her opponent.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
I think it's about having a competent president, and I don't really think gender has to do with how Hillary Clinton will lead.
Quote by -Natalie Portman
Ballet really lends itself to that because there's such a sense of ritual, with wrapping the shoes every day and preparing new shoes for every performance. It's such a process. It's almost religious, in nature.
