娜塔莉·波特曼哈弗大学毕业演讲——2015年哈弗毕业典礼
Natalie Portman at Harvard
Portman was raw and revealing in her speech at her alma mater, Harvard, talking about the dark times she faced at college, coping with depression and feeling like she didn’t fit in. As she put it, “Today I feel much like I did when I came to Harvard yard as a freshman in 1999… I felt like there had been some mistake, that I wasn’t smart enough to be in this company, and that every time I opened my mouth, I would have to prove that I wasn’t just a dumb actress.” Still, it was her time at Harvard that finally made her realize that acting was the path for her. “After fours years of trying to get excited about something else, I admitted to myself that I couldn’t wait to go back and make more films,” says Portman. “I wanted to tell stories, to imagine the lives of others and help others do the same.”
