Zitat des Tages von Natalie Portman:
I'm afraid of everything. But maybe when you're afraid of everything, it sort of seems like you're scared of nothing.
You know, I get much more Jewish in Israel because I like the way that religion is done there.
I don't think I've ever been in love, I'm sure I will be some day. I've had enormous crushes, although I've never been into the Brad Pitt thing.
I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.
Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
Breast implants gross me out. I don't think they're attractive at all.
Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.
I like acting for now. But after seeing Apollo 13, what I really want to do is to be an astronaut. I'm dying to go to a space camp next summer!
Cute is when a person's personality shines through their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time you see them you just want to run up and hug them.
It's always strange being a kid on the set, because you're treated like an equal when you're working. But then when you break, the other actors go back to their trailers to take naps and drink beer, and I have to, like, go do school.
Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.
I love milk so much! I make a point of drinking a glass of milk every day. So now anyone who did those milk ads with the milk mustaches, they're my heroes.
It scares me to think that one day I'm not going to be in school anymore.
Well, right now, I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.
When I was 7 years old, I put on shows for everyone at my grandpa's funeral. I was always the little entertainer.
I usually dress very casual. Whenever I go out with my friends, I'm always like, 'Can't I just wear sweatpants?'
There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.
There's so much else to do in the world. To just be interested in doing films would limit my life.
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.
My father has a general rule. He says if I haven't done it in real life I shouldn't do it on-screen.
I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.
I was really into dancing, taking six classes a week, and my real dream was to be in a Broadway show.
There's always pressure, from other people and yourself. If you're happy with the looks you're born with, then what are you going to do your whole life? We keep thinking up new things and finding better ways of doing things because we're not happy with what we're given.
I'm a Gemini, so I change my mind every day.
I'm pretty hard on myself in general.
I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.
Awards are so unnecessary because I think we get so much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself.
The only place I am recognized all the time is in L.A. and otherwise, it's only about once a day. I feel pretty anonymous.
I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid.
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.
Everyone dreams of living in Paris.
They tell me: 'OK, this is where we're going to push up your cleavage,' and I'm like, 'What cleavage?'
I loved school so much that most of my classmates considered me a dork.
I'm always on the phone because I'm usually not with the people I want to be with.
I speak fluent Hebrew and even dream in Hebrew when we visit there, once or twice a year.
I want every version of a woman and a man to be possible. I want women and men to be able to be full-time parents or full-time working people or any combination of the two.
