I don't think of myself as a t...

I don't think of myself as a terribly confident person. But I have a survival mechanism that was instilled in me by my mother.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

I consider myself British and ...

I consider myself British and have very happy memories of the UK. I spent the first 14 years of my life in England and never wanted to leave. When I was in Australia I went back to England a lot.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

I'm not happy unless I've got ...

I'm not happy unless I've got a little bit of fear going.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

I was going on years and years...

I was going on years and years of auditions and being told I was too this, too that, not enough of this, not enough of that, to the point where I was so afraid and diluting myself into absolutely nothing.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

That's one of the lucky things...

That's one of the lucky things about getting the success later on. I know how I want to dress, I know what kind of house I want to live in, I just know more about myself, and that's true about the roles I want to play and what parts of myself I want to express. You're just more in touch with yourself.

There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it

We're so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we'll appreciate the life we have more.

Oh, I'm definitely a wild child.

I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.

I think I have better taste now than I did then.

I'm a tomboy now. I always wanted to fit in with my brother's group, so I climbed trees and played with lead soldiers. But I'm a woman's woman. I never understood women who don't have woman friends.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff, talking about the film, explaining your own life, it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength.

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

I had gotten to a place where ...

I had gotten to a place where I truly believed everything I was called: 'not sexy,' 'not funny,' 'too intense,' desperate.' All those labels they gave me, I took them because there wasn't a trace of my true self left.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

If I have to produce movies, direct movies, whatever to change the way Hollywood treats older women, I'll do it. If I have to bend the rules, I will. If I have to break them, I will.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

It's always nerve-racking to take off your clothes on film. But doing it with a woman felt safer than with a man. You know you can say, 'Don't grab me there: That's where my cellulite is'!

I got knockback after knockback at auditions. Just before 'Mulholland Dr.' my agent told me I was so intense I was freaking people out. She told me I was a brilliant actor but the feedback was that I made people feel uncomfortable because I was so nervous and intense. I just sat there and blubbed. My mum was staying in LA at the time and I went to her and said: 'I just can't do this. I'm not cut out for it.' She just said: 'Don't believe a word people say about you. Forget them.'

You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

My mum put me in drama classes...

My mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I'd been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up.

Naomi Watts 95 quotes

The thing that I love about ac...

The thing that I love about acting is the fact that I can help people feel things, know themselves or feel less alone. It's my form of expression, in the same way that someone might paint a picture or sing a song in that you're hoping that it moves somebody outside of their own way of thinking.
