Натали Портман цитаты

„Умные женщины любят умных мужчин больше, чем умные мужчины любят умных женщин.“

„Не люблю, когда меня называют милой. «Милая» — это слово, которое больше подходит для твоей кошки.“

„По-настоящему умные люди не получают пятёрки. Они знают, что оценки на самом деле ничего не значат.“

„Никогда не знаешь, как рождаются слухи. Когда, например, я постриглась наголо, про меня стали говорить, что я либо неонацистка, либо лесбиянка, либо у меня рак. Хорошо хоть не всё сразу.“

„Иногда самое сильное, что ты можешь сделать, — это сказать «нет».“

„Однажды я шла по улице, и вдруг кто-то крикнул: «О боже, смотрите, это же Вайнона Райдер». Я обернулась, чтобы увидеть ее, но тут поняла, что все смотрят на меня.“

„Я рада, что прошла через все это. Я успела побывать той, кем меня хотели видеть родители; той, кем хотели видеть продюсеры; и той, кем хотели видеть зрители.“

„Мечты — это просто попукивание мозгом.“

„Когда говоришь: «Я из Израиля», – люди склонны начинать этак примерно 10-часовой разговор о текущей политике. Но для меня тут нет политики, я просто из Израиля, из страны, которая, да, оказалась на передовой цивилизационных процессов, но я просто из Израиля. И принадлежу Израилю не меньше, чем Америке.“

„Еще мой любимый университетский профессор говорил, что за первой волной модернизации, технологической, придет другая, глубинная. Модернизация сознания. Люди потребуют от политиков большей открытости, от звезд – прекращения купеческого разгула, от правительств – экологической сознательности.“

„Мне нравится, когда люди говорят мне, что я выгляжу как еврейка.“

“I grew up in the classic American-Jewish suburbia, which has a whole different sense of what it means to be Jewish than anywhere else in the world.”

“There’s so much goodness there, and such a value placed on education, which is sort of universal among Jews around the world. I appreciate that obviously, to be a part of that.”

“Where I live, nobody who's fourteen is having sex and doing major drugs. And I think if you see it in the movies, you may be influenced by it. I think it's so important to preserve your innocence.”

“It was wonderful playing a young queen with so much power. I think it will be good for young women to see a strong woman of action who is also smart and a leader.”

“Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.”

“I had a fashion designer tell me that when I wear a dress of his, it sells out across the country because Jewish girls ‘look to me,’ and Jewish girls are the ones that buy expensive dresses. It made me sad, because I want to be an influence in ways other than by a pretty dress.”

“My response was that more than half of Israelis are of Sephardic origin. Many of these Jews come from Arab lands and share the same physical skin color.”

“I’d like it if people thought I was Jewish-looking.”

“It’s weird that there are so many people at Harvard who do amazing things outside the classroom. It just so happens that people like to watch what I do.”

“I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy. Our job is to imagine what someone else's life is like. And if you can't do that in real life, if you can't do that as a human being, then good luck as an actor…. I just think it's an important thing to engage in the world. And it's just too easy not to in our society.”

“I’ve taught at Harvard, Dartmouth and Vassar, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching a lot of very bright kids. There are very few who are as inherently bright as Natalie is, who have as much intellectual horsepower, who work as hard as she did. She didn’t take a single thing for granted.”
