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.

More quotes by 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
As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
Mia Wasikowska
Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.
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
You never choose the way that you're raised, it's just the way that you were raised, but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.
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 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
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
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
Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.
Mia Wasikowska
The independent films are really where I kind of come from and where I feel comfortable. It's never been about the blockbusters and making a huge tonne of money. It's always been about wanting to do projects about the things that I think are important to be out there.
Mia Wasikowska
I always thought the piano scene was kind of unique to shoot because we were actually able to film with the playback of the actual song. And that was quite amazing because it almost made it easier - music is usually something that is added after filming has finished so to be able to shoot a scene with music was really wonderful.
Mia Wasikowska
What I like about film is it explores imperfections.
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
With dance, you learn to channel nerves into energy, excited energy. It's sort of similar when you walk into an audition room, to be able to go takes deep breath and then go in real calm. It was in those ways that it really helped me.
Mia Wasikowska
I get restless easily so I always want to keep working, but I am trying to pace it as well.
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
I want to just do my job and do it well.
Mia Wasikowska
I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.
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.
