I think that dancing has helped or prepared me, in a number of different ways, for the film industry, especially with controlling your nerves when you walk into an audition because you're on stage from a young age.

More quotes by Mia Wasikowska
I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.
Mia Wasikowska
Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.
Mia Wasikowska
Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.
Mia Wasikowska
There's a whole language to movement and how you embody someone, and how you can use different techniques for different characters. I guess just posture, and the way you walk, and the way you physically are. All of that says a lot about who someone is.
Mia Wasikowska
To have a creative outlet that you can control is really important because you do a lot of waiting to be cast, then waiting to go into production, and then waiting on set.
Mia Wasikowska
I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.
Mia Wasikowska
Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three.
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.
Mia Wasikowska
What I like about film is it explores imperfections.
Mia Wasikowska
Although I'm not particularly troubled myself, I do have a lot of empathy for troubled characters.
Mia Wasikowska
I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.
Mia Wasikowska
I don't consider myself a starlet or a Hollywood person.
Mia Wasikowska
I always collect a bunch of images for every film that I do, that reminds me of an essence of the character, or the time that they live in, or what they're experiencing.
Mia Wasikowska
I come from a background of independent films.
Mia Wasikowska
It's really rare to get a teenage role that resembles something of what it's like to be a young person, that isn't a cliché or a stereotype.
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
I think it's possible to have the kind of career you really want if you want to. You just don't do the things you don't want to and you just have to be cool with waiting for something to come around that you really feel passionate for.
Mia Wasikowska
I want to just do my job and do it well.
Mia Wasikowska
It's hard to tell what people realize. Everybody's different and has a different understanding of the difference in times.
