Natalie Portman Covers V Magazine

I am a huge fan of Natalie Portman. There is just something about her that is awesome. She is starring in the new movie with Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire called Brothers. I love the trailer for the movie.  She is the cover girl for the Winter 2009/2010 issue of V magazine. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On harsh criticism of her Star Wars work: “My acting was not exactly respected in those films [laughs] but those are the moments when you want to prove yourself again. When people think I suck, it helps.”

On how the internet affects her roles: “[O]nline bulls— interferes with what I want to do artistically. I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that.”

On striving to be her best: “To be successful, you need the desire to be successful. Ambition can be a dirty word, but it’s pretty much more important than anything.”
