Natalie Portman Quotes

The nice thing about age is worrying less and less about what people think.

There's a happiness about me, a confidence and a happiness now that I didn't have when I was younger. You feel good inside, you look good outside. I have a few little gray hairs on my chin, and I kind of like them. I feel like I look like somebody who's having a good life, who's enjoying it a little better than I did before. You can be really good-looking in your twenties but feel miserable, and people just sort of walk away.

I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.

I sort of feel like it comes around again. That when you get to a certain age, when you've lived enough and you've got your friends to support you and your family to support you, you wake up one morning and think, yeah, I'm okay.

I've become more confident as I have got older. I care less what others think.

When you get older, you feel better about yourself. You're not worried what other people think about you, in general. You just get more comfortable in your skin.

As you get older, you're not afraid of doubt. Doubt isn't running the show. You take out all the self-agonizing.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I can relax.

I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing.

I think as I've gotten older and the things I've gone through, I'm not as concerned about what everybody thinks.

It took a long time, and a lot of years, for me to get comfortable with myself, like the way I am now.

One of the good elements of old age is that we no longer have to prove anything, to ourselves or to anyone else. We are what we are.

There's a happiness about me, a confidence and a happiness that I didn't have when I was younger. You feel good inside, you look good outside.

You can be really good-looking in your twenties but feel miserable, and people just sort of walk away.

My twenties were carefree in the worst ways. There's a nice balance now of work ethic and healthy lifestyle and carefree attitude, which is pretty nice. You get to a point where you don't care so much what people think of you and you care more about yourself.

I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.

I was a lot more critical of my body when it was probably pretty awesome. Why did I not ever wear jean shorts? That's so crazy. I was so skinny. I didn't have any cellulite what was I thinking? I was more willing to wear short skirts after I had my kids. I never wore them before. Ever. I was so self-conscious. Now I'm a lot more confident in my skin - because who cares? At the end of the day, it's so much time spent on something that really doesn't matter that much.

Never worry about what other people say or think. Do the right. Have a clear conscience and roam about happily.

I feel great, I'm happy with my look, and that comes with age and feeling confident.
