Quoting Natalie....

"It's so easy for me to relate to other people. Anything that's remotely sad.... I'm so drawn in by that. And that's what movies are- they cultivate that imagination that allows us to empathize with other people and feel their humanity. I think it serves such an important role in society. It's really in acting that you care for other people."

"You discover that not everyone's good and people will disappoint you. It's disillusioning. But rather than think everyone evil, you say, `I've got to be more careful,' and there are people I can find who will be true friends.'"

"I think all kids want to act older; it's one of the interesting parts of being young -- you are all racing to get old, but as soon as you are old you yearn for your youth. Fact of life."

"I sort of think I'll never again achieve the performances of my early films. I'm very critical of myself. You become so much more self-conscious as you get older, and that's your worst enemy as an actor."

" We must be ashamed of every act of violence and mourn every child as if they were our own."

"I like someone who's smart and who will bring me to new places. And humorous, although I don't need a comedian. That can be kind of annoying."

"I'm grateful that my first experience of cinema was in a European art film. It shaped my view of what films should be about - beauty and honesty - whereas so many people make their choices governed by the box office."

"I'm not a big designer-clothes person anymore. I just can't deal with the materialism that goes along with it all. "
