Natalie Wood Quotes
“Stardom is only a by-product of acting.  I don’t think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.”

“There are certain stars who are not actors.  I don’t want to be that type.”

“Today’s films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.”

“I didn’t like children.  I didn’t think of myself as a child.  I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.”

“Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married.  Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.”

“I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.”

“I’ve been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I’m forced to go into in on every movie that I make.”

“My friends seem much more excited about my doing Anastasia than Brainstorm...  and to tell you the truth, I feel the same way.”

“Warren and I are friends, but working with him had been difficult.”

“For the first time I feel an inner emotional security.  There is reality and dependability.  My life revolves around Richard and the baby.”

“Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man, I suppose it’s part of growing up.”

“I’m not very bright about money.  I’m not domestic either.  If I don’t learn how to cook, maybe I won’t have to.”

“I couldn’t even go to the bathroom alone.  My mother or a social worker always went with me.”

“My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes.  You can learn later.”

“I saw my parents as gods whose every wish must be obeyed or I would suffer the penalty of anguish and guilt.”

“I never saw film stars at home.  We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.”

“The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.”

“If I didn’t believe in what I’m doing, I’d rather go to work in a dime store.”

“A lot changed when I had Natasha.  I’m a survivor.”

“At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.”

“From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.”

“I didn’t know who the hell I was.  I was whoever they wanted me to be.”

“I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.”

“I thought it was a wonderful line - right on the cutting room floor.”

“I was so overprotected, I used to think I was as delicate as people said I was.”

“I’m just going to have to grow old, because I’m too terrified to have anything done.”

“Not even analysis, by itself, can transform you.  You must still do the changing yourself.”

“The constant attention is what is so difficult.”

“The times that I have done something that I didn’t respond to emotionally right away, it’s generally not worked out too well.”

“We all wanted to copy Vivien Leigh.”

“We were descended from royalty.”

“When I get married it will be for keeps.”
