Natalie Dormer quotes

We don't have enough young, female antiheroes. We don't accept women as antiheroes the way we do the men. (Natalie Dormer)
I'm a quasi-only child. With my brother and sister, I've more of a tendency to be semi-maternal. So, yes, I spent a lot of time talking to myself - I had this big dressing-up box and would just dress up as lots of characters and talk back to myself... Verging on schizophrenia, I suppose, if you analyse it carefully. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I love going out of my comfort zone - I live to go out of my comfort zone. View quote
Natalie Dormer
Kids are very cruel to each other. View quote
Natalie Dormer
As an actor, you spend a lot of your life in hotel rooms. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I think every actor brings something personal to a role, right? View quote
Natalie Dormer
Perfect is very boring, and if you happen to have a different look, that's a celebration of human nature, I think. If we were all symmetrical and perfect, life would be very dull. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I'm not clever enough to be in machinations and real politics. View quote
Natalie Dormer
For me, it's not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. It's interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. It's about the journey. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. View quote
Natalie Dormer
When I turn on the news in Paris, the way Syria is covered is different from the way it is covered in Washington, D.C., or London. Even in Western society, where we hold all the values of democracy and freedom of speech, as soon as you point a camera in a particular direction, there is an angle - literally and figuratively.

Natalie Dormer
I had a period of unemployment for about nine months after my first big break, and it's the greatest lesson I ever could have learned, never to believe you're home and dry. (Natalie Dormer)
It's fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair. View quote
Natalie Dormer
Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there's time. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I have been to Canada several times. It was autumn when I visited Vancouver, and I will always remember the colour of the trees in British Columbia were stunning. View quote
Natalie Dormer
When I wake up on a Sunday morning with a slight hangover, in the gym with no makeup on, that's who Natalie Dormer really is. The girl next door who gets a spot on her forehead occasionally. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I feel like I've really earnt my stripes - I feel ready to play a lead. I would just love to prove I'm good enough to carry a project. View quote
Natalie Dormer
Actors have this amazing skill - we bond quite quickly but equally we move on quite quickly. There's nothing particularly cold or capricious about it - we're troubadours and lead a troubadour's lifestyle. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I'm always open to trying out new things. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I know I'm not a conventional beauty. You can read a lot of painful things on the Internet, which criticise you aesthetically - but as far as I'm concerned, that's not what an actress is. View quote
Natalie Dormer
Anne Boleyn is an intriguing character. She seems to appeal to modern-day women in a very potent way. Because she was such an independently opinionated and spirited young woman, which at the time was unheard of. View quote
Natalie Dormer
I was a very physical child... I was a tree-climber; I was a tomboy. (Natalie Dormer)
There are a lot of parallels between the historical Henry VIII and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. There's an oscillation and extremity of emotion throughout his repertoire that lends itself beautifully to the nature of Henry VIII, definitely. He will push things to the limit, and yet remain in emotional control. View quote
Natalie Dormer
It's a writer's or director's role to be cerebral, whereas for an actor it should be a visceral, gut thing. When the action starts, it's best to turn the brain off and let it become an instinctual thing. View quote
Natalie Dormer
Famously, Anne Boleyn was not a beauty: she was more about quirkiness and an innate sensuality, and there are a lot of references to her eyes. Which sends out a great message for women, because life is not about the aesthetic all the time. View quote
Natalie Dormer
Isnt it lovely to know that even the great Sherlock Holmes, the quirky and genius Sherlock Holmes, is vulnerable to love as we all are? View quote
