Thandie Newton quotes

Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it. (Thandie Newton)

I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.

Thandie Newton

I never understood the point of juicing - I always thought I could get enough nutrients from eating fruit and vegetables - but now I'm a convert.

Thandie Newton

I can hardly find the words to describe the peace I felt when I was acting. My dysfunctional self could actually plug in to another self, not my own, and it felt so good.

Thandie Newton

When I am out and about I feel watched. It's become second nature. The only time I get to be private is in my work. That is when I liberate the ego. The blessed-out sensation of liberating the ego.

Thandie Newton

There's a very strong connection between a lot of the evils of the modern world-factory farming, abuse against women-and the environment. We're destroying the female. If you think about the earth as a female organism which it is, in its totality, you know how we're disrespecting and abusing it. ... [I have] very strong feelings about factory farming ... I'm a vegetarian myself ... I don't want any kind of suffering of any living form but it's more to do with the awareness that so much of the meat on the planet is being produced by factory farms. Animals are being pumped full of growth hormones which are then getting fed to our kids. And it's affecting the water, environment. ... We are being duped and controlled by huge multinationals that are concerned about the short term, not the long term and don't care about the individual.

Thandie Newton

While expressing my milk realised that the equivalent for cows is my milk going to the mouths of people who murder and eat my family #VEGAN.

Thandie Newton

Then I became a mother and it just fills every space, that isn't filled with something else important. It's just like this incredible balloon that blows up and fills life up.

Thandie Newton

If we're all living in ourselves and mistaking it for life, then we're devaluing and desensitizing life.

Thandie Newton

If I could change my appearance, I would have the gap between my front teeth put back in.

Thandie Newton

I don't put the pressure on myself to be a very successful movie star. I want to enjoy being an actor and I want to be challenged by the roles I take. (Thandie Newton)

I'd love to do yoga every day. I don't usually have time, but a few sun salutations go a long way.

Thandie Newton

I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.
