Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture. - Natalie Portman

I don't know who would not classify themselves as a romantic. I think that would be sort of sad. - Natalie Portman
There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing. - 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. - Natalie Portman

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. - Natalie Portman

Every person my size has a different life, a different history. Different ways of dealing with it. Just because I'm seemingly O.K. with it, I can't preach how to be O.K. with it. I don't think I still am O.K. with it. There's days when I'm not. - Peter Dinklage
