Natalie Portman has changed her mind about giving up acting.

Natalie Portman has changed her mind about giving up acting.

Portman hinted she would give up acting someday, but now says she knows it is in her blood.

‘‘I know that I need it,’’ Portman told Vogue magazine for its May issue. ‘‘When I am in school I miss it like crazy, and it feeds me.’’

The 20-year-old, who reprises her role of Queen Amidala in the upcoming Star Wars prequel, said she has learned how to juggle her fame with her studies at Harvard University.

‘‘It makes all social interactions a little harder,’’ Portman said. ‘‘It sort of eliminates the level of the middle friend - people either are acquaintances or they are my best friends. Because the middle people are usually the ones who just want to rub shoulders, you know?’’

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, co-starring Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson, is out next month.
