Love Quote by Naomi Watts

"I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine"

About this Quote

Naomi Watts dresses a familiar sentiment in disarmingly simple pleasures: conversation and wine. It lands because it’s both intimate and strategic. In an industry that still treats women’s relationships as either catty competition or glossy “girl power” branding, Watts frames female company as ordinary adult sustenance. Not therapy, not a crusade, not a clickbait “squad” narrative - just the good stuff that makes a life feel lived.

The intent is soft-edged advocacy. By praising women’s company without qualification, she normalizes women as default peers rather than special-interest allies. “Always” does a lot of work: it’s a steady preference, not a mood. That choice gently pushes back on Hollywood’s long-running isolation of actresses into narrow lanes - ingénue vs. rival, wife vs. temptress - where camaraderie is supposed to be suspect or secondary.

The subtext is also about safety and agency. “Good conversation” signals a space where women are listened to, not auditioning, not being reduced to image. “Great wine” adds sensuality without performance; it’s pleasure on one’s own terms, not the nightclub version of glamour. Watts doesn’t invoke empowerment rhetoric, but the message is quietly political: women’s social worlds are rich, sustaining, and complete.

Context matters, too. Watts came up in an era when actresses were often pitted against each other for scarce “serious” roles. Read against that backdrop, her line becomes less a lifestyle preference than a small corrective: connection as resistance to a system that profits from division.
