Natalie Portman's Latest Quotes Will Remind You What a Perfect Role Model She Is
![On living in Paris: "I've been to Paris so much in my life that I felt [at first] like it's very similar, and then when you live in a place, you start realizing how culturally different we are, deeply culturally different. I feel like this country has a lot of religion and a lot of freedom around that; and there, the religion is almost like love. Love and intellectualism is their sort of way."
On Parisian culture: "I love that people at dinner want to have a serious conversation — and only a serious conversation. They'll be upset if you don't have something interesting happen. I love that my kid wants to go to art museums after school — like, 'Take me to the Pompidou.' I love that it's also not elitist, as it is in New York. You can afford to go to the philharmonic or the opera much more easily because all of it's subsidized. And there's a huge culture of cinema there."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/ps-image-unavailable.png "On living in Paris: \"I've been to Paris so much in my life that I felt [at first] like it's very similar, and then when you live in a place, you start realizing how culturally different we are, deeply culturally different.
