"Last year I did something that I wasn't comfortable with, and I'm really sorry I didn't listen to my intuition. There was a scene in a movie that felt inappropriate for me, but I didn't want to make waves . . . From now on, I'm going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is say 'no.'"

– Natalie Portman, referring to a torture scene she filmed for Goya's Ghosts, to Parade
