I didn`t have this undying need to be an actress. I didn`t have that fire in me ever -- at any point. And still, I don`t think I have that within me.
- Natalie Portman(on Max Ophuls) I loved Max Ophuls because he had a very unsuccessful career as far as America was concerned, but he had an irrepressible spirit. He was a brave, resilient man and a great man of theatre and he loved his work, he had an undying enthusiasm. He was a lovely man.
