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
Although I'm not particularly troubled myself, I do have a lot of empathy for troubled characters.
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
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
When you dance intensely, you are really aware of your physicality, and that's always great to have as a tool, when you're an actress.
Mia Wasikowska
Coming from dance, I feel acting is - I'm not going to say easy, because it's not. But the dance world is more hard-core.
Mia Wasikowska
Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.
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 got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.
Mia Wasikowska
Feminism is just about equality, really, and there's so much stuff attached to the word, when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.
Mia Wasikowska
Someone once told me to believe 5 percent of what everybody tells you.
Mia Wasikowska
I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
Mia Wasikowska
It's hard to tell what people realize. Everybody's different and has a different understanding of the difference in times.
Mia Wasikowska
As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
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
Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three.
Mia Wasikowska
I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.
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
Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.
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
You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.
