 Naomi Watts Quotation'Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering. It's not enough to have lived it once; you have to relive it. Darkness is not a pejorative thing." "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" - on her early career. "It was total naivety that got me to Hollywood. I thought it was going to happen straight away. I told myself 'give it 5 years, there's no way I'll be here after that if it doesn't happen'. Cut to ten years later!" "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." "For the record, I am actually British as well as Australian. People always think I'm Australian but I'm happy for the Brits to claim me back. I'm offering myself up." "Instead of thinking 'how can I slow the ageing process?' I think 'how can I bend the rules?'" "Whatever is said about roles drying up, I intend to keep working. Certainly now the roles couldn't be more interesting - playing mothers, divorcees. I think it's going to be exciting to play a mother of teenagers. The longer your life, the deeper it gets." "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." "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." - in response to "21 Grams". "I've had people who've seen "21 Grams" say, 'Wow, you're so brave to be looking like that'. This shocks me. I think that's what an actor's job is, to lose yourself in a role." Movie Title: Mulholland Dr. (2001) as Betty / Betty Elms / Diane Selwyn: Betty Elms : [after kissing Rita] Have you ever done this before? Rita : I don't know. Have you? Betty Elms : I want to with you. Betty Elms : It's strange calling yourself. Betty Elms : She's letting me stay here while she's working on a movie that's being made in Canada. But I guess you already know that. Well, I couldn't afford a place like this in a million years... unless, of course, I'm discovered and become a movie star. Of course, I'd rather be known as a great actress than a movie star. But, you know, sometimes people end up being both. So that is, I guess you'd say, sort of why I came here. [pause] Betty Elms : I'm sorry. I'm just so excited to be here. I mean I just came here from Deep River, Ontario, and now I'm in this dream place. Well, you can imagine how I feel. Betty Elms : [looking around to see her bags missing] My bags! Cab Driver at LAX : [from the curb, with Betty's bags] Where to? Betty Elms : [smiling] 1612 Havenhurst! Diane Selwyn : You want me to make this easy for you? No fucking way! It's not gonna be. t's not easy for me! Betty Elms : (opens door) Yes? May I help you? Louise Bonner : Someone is in trouble. Who are you? What are you doing in Ruth's apartment? Betty Elms : She's letting me stay here. I'm her niece. My name's Betty. Louise Bonner : No, it's not. That's not what she said. Someone is in trouble. Something bad is happening! Bob Brooker : It's not a contest... the two of them... with themselves... So don't play it for real until it gets real. Betty Elms : OK. Jimmy 'Woody' Katz : What's your name? Betty Elms : Betty. Jimmy 'Woody' Katz : Yeah, Betty, look, you don't rush it. I don't rush it. Betty : Mulholland Drive? Rita : That's where I was going! Movie Title: Tank Girl (1995) as Jet Girl: Donner : Wanna dance? Jet Girl : I don't know how. Donner : It's okay, I brought the condoms! Movie Title: The Ring (2002) as Rachel Keller: Aidan Keller : What happened to the girl? Rachel Keller : Samara? Aidan Keller : Is that her name? Rachel Keller : Mm-hmm. Aidan Keller : Is she still in the dark place? Rachel Keller : No. We set her free. Aidan Keller : You helped her? Rachel Keller : Yeah. Aidan Keller : Why did you do that? Rachel Keller : What's wrong, honey? Aidan Keller : You weren't supposed to help her. Rachel Keller : I think before you die, you see the ring... Rachel Keller : Honey, the house you drew for me... Aidan Keller : Uh huh. Rachel Keller : Where did you see it? Did you see it in your head? Is that why you drew it? Aidan Keller : In my head? Rachel Keller : Aidan, why did you draw that house? Aidan Keller : 'Cause she told me to. Rachel Keller : Who? Who told you to? Aidan Keller : The little girl. Rachel Keller : She talks to you? Aidan Keller : No, she shows me things. Rachel Keller : Did she show you the horses? Aidan Keller : She doesn't like it in the barn. The horses keep her up at night. Rachel Keller : So she still lives there? Aidan Keller : No, she lives in a dark place now. Rachel Keller : He watched the tape. Noah : Who? who watched it? Rachel Keller : Our son Innkeeper : This is your card, right? Rachel Keller : That's it. Rachel Keller : Katie told you she was going to die? Aidan Keller : She said she didn't have enough time. Rachel Keller : Would you say that I'm gullible? Noah : No. Rachel Keller : Easily rattled? Noah : Definitely not. I mean, you're a little highly strung maybe. Noah : I can't imagine being stuck down a well all alone like that. How long could you survive? Rachel Keller : Seven days. Harvey : You're fired. Rachel Keller : No, I'm not. Harvey : Yes, you are. Rachel Keller : No, I'm not! I'm cooking too good a story. Rachel Keller : She wanted that child more than anything in the world. How could she have done that...? She just wanted to be heard. Sometimes children yell, or cry... or draw pictures... Rachel Keller : What did you do to her? She was your daughter! You killed Samara, didn't you? You killed her and when your wife found out... Richard Morgan : My wife was not supposed to have a child! Dr. Grasnik : See, when you live on an island you catch a cold, it's everybody's cold. Rachel Keller : No offense, ma'am, but what the hell does that mean? Dr. Grasnik : It means ever since that girl's been gone, things have been better. Rachel Keller : Four people are dead. Noah Clay: Not from watching a videotape. Movie Title: Le Divorce (2003) as Roxy: Roxy : You shouldn't accept expensive gifts from a man. Isabel : Why? Roxy : Because it puts you in a position of having to do what he wants. Isabel : I'd do it anyway. Movie Title: 21 Grams (2003) as Cristina Peck / Cristina: Cristina Peck : Whoever looks for the truth deserves punishment for finding it. Cristina Peck : You know what I thought when mom died? I couldn't understand how you could talk to people again, how you could laugh... again. I couldn't understand how you could play with us. And no, no that's a lie, life does not just go on. Cristina Peck : Katie could have lived. She'd be alive right now but that bastard left her there. Laying in the street. He left the three of them like animals. He didn't care. She could be here with me. That son of a bitch is walking the streets, and I can't even go into their room. I wanna kill him. I'm gonna kill Jack Jordan. I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch. Paul Rivers : Slow down, just slow down. Cristina Peck : Slow down. Slow down. While I what, huh? While I what? Paul Rivers : Take it easy. Cristina Peck : Take it easy? My husband and my little girls are dead, and I'm supposed to take it fucking easy? I can't just go on with my life! I am paralyzed here! I am a fucking amputee! Do you see that? Who are you? You owe it to Michael. No, you've got his heart. You're in house fucking his wife! And sitting in his chair! We have to kill him! Paul Rivers : Not like this. Cristina Peck : Then how? Tell me how! Katie died with red shoelaces on. She hated red shoelaces. And she kept asking me to get her some blue ones. And I never got her the blue ones. She was wearing those fucking red shoelaces when she was killed! Cristina : Nothing I can do is going to bring them back. Movie Title: Ned Kelly (2003) as Julia Cook: Julia Cook : Don't make me grieve for you Ned Kelly : I ain't dead yet! |
