I've always had sort of an interest in American history, full stop, and especially people who contributed to the civil rights struggle.

From Ruth Negga

Women always have to have this soft, maternal, sort of - I don't know - moral center.

From Ruth Negga

I don't know why women aren't allowed to have the same sort of breadth and scope and flaws of men.

From Ruth Negga

Violence in film and television is an ongoing conversation, and I like eavesdropping on it, but I'm never sure what my opinion is. I like watching creative violence, but I don't know.

From Ruth Negga

I don't really know how strong someone is if they're compelled to a life of violence. Is that strong? No. That's damaged.

From Ruth Negga

Some people say to me, 'You don't sound very Irish.' It's because I have this tendency to iron out my accent: not because I'm ashamed of it but because it makes my life easier if I don't keep having to repeat myself.

From Ruth Negga

When you connect to someone on a human level, and you get to know about them, you can begin to love the things that make them different.

From Ruth Negga

My favorite film is 'All About Eve'.

From Ruth Negga

I don't think I have ever thought of myself as a movie star. I think when I was about seven, I thought it must be lovely to have an Oscar. But the more involved you are in this business, the more that pretence disappears, and you really get to see what you love about it, and what I love is working.

From Ruth Negga

I use the term 'spine' for people when I think that they may seem on the surface sort of reticent, shy, self-deprecating, shying away from the spotlight. Quiet.
