More quotes by Mia Wasikowska
Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.
Mia Wasikowska
He [directo Park] gave me a sculpture, a jaguar. It is the animal, obviously, and it is in my bedroom at my parents' place at the moment. But I am just about to move into my own place and I shall put it somewhere there. I shall make sure it has good lighting. This will be my first place of my own and I am so excited.
Mia Wasikowska

Someone once told me to believe 5 percent of what everybody tells you.

I think that because most films where there's a teenager, it's aimed at a teenage audience. Restless is - I wouldn't classify it as a teen film, strictly, but it's definitely a film that appeals to young people, but also gives them credit for their complexity.
Mia Wasikowska
Ballet has really helped me in every acting role. You have to be very disciplined, you have to be able to control your nerves and perform under pressure, and all those things you have to use in acting when you're on film or going for an audition.
Mia Wasikowska
I like characters who remind me of someone I know.
Mia Wasikowska
Any time you get a role that's a young person, that resembles what it's like to be a teenager, I always kind of jump at it.
Mia Wasikowska
Acting really suited me because I could connect as an actor to emotion.
Mia Wasikowska
I think that I burnt myself out a little bit with my dancing because I did so much of it. I was exhausted so thought that I would try a different kind of performance and expression and acting seemed like a close fit it was similar in some ways to dancing. My mum showed me some really good films and so I became interested in films and acting.
Mia Wasikowska
Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.
Mia Wasikowska
I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.

Although I'm not particularly troubled myself, I do have a lot of empathy for troubled characters.
Mia Wasikowska
I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
