More quotes by Michelle Rodriguez
I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.
Michelle Rodriguez
I don't have much history - I've got Rosie Perez, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Moreno. That's it. That's the history of Latin women in Hollywood, really.
Michelle Rodriguez
I'm a lone wolf. I run by myself on most things. I've got lots of really great friends, but the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? Psh, I couldn't last more than six months with somebody, let alone have a father figure around for a kid. I mean, if I could give a kid a father figure, that would be amazing.
Michelle Rodriguez
I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.
Michelle Rodriguez
Milla Jovovich introduced me to [anthropologist and author of the Don Juan series of books involving shamanic peyote rituals] Carlos Castaneda because I was all into the hallucinogens for a minute.
Michelle Rodriguez
I'd done two years' worth of extra work, and all my friends who I would go on auditions with went to school for acting. These were kids who knew when they were 14 years old that this was what they wanted to do with their lives, and they prepared for it, and they're getting canned at every audition.
Michelle Rodriguez
Guys are so predictable. They can't seem to separate fantasy from reality, so I get a lot of bikers and race car drivers hitting on me. They're all just playboys, so they don't interest me.
Michelle Rodriguez
Sometimes I'd knock on the door of somebody I was going to school with, so it was like living a double life.
Michelle Rodriguez
My dad was more, Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid. He's more the intellectual type.
Michelle Rodriguez
I've been part of really big things that are amazing, but I haven't taken on that responsibility yet. So I don't want to sell myself short by having a kid and then regret not doing what I set out to do.
Michelle Rodriguez
The only place that I'd be worried about being typecast is the independent film world.
Michelle Rodriguez
I also love the makers of South Park, because they're political, strong, and they're making all of these comments that would get you shot for if you did it in a drama.
Michelle Rodriguez
I learned that you can make a sci-fi film that is satisfying overseas. European people have everything in check. I'd make every sci-fi film in Europe. They only work 14 hours a day. After that, it's overtime.
Michelle Rodriguez
There's only a handful of directors who really understand what I call the alchemical balance between a man and a woman, in a woman's body, which most people consider the strong woman character.
Michelle Rodriguez
They didn't train me to be in the ring for five and a half hours punching air. So, it was hard, I had to get some body contact in there somewhere, it was mostly body shots and stuff. I had no clue, really.
Michelle Rodriguez
Basically I was a rebel growing up. I got kicked out of six schools. But I don't think that it makes you less of an intellect. You know, if you ever crave knowledge, there's always a library.
Michelle Rodriguez
The egos in this industry are incredibly vulnerable and everybody's afraid to wipe out. So everybody plays it safe and everybody tells everybody else how great they are.
Michelle Rodriguez
I went to business school but left after four months because I just didn't want to be a puppet of society, stuck in an office, craving some sunlight.
Michelle Rodriguez
I was hanging out in gers [yurts] with these Kazakh sort of Bedouins. Drank nasty-ass camel milk. The drive [from the Souther Gobi to Ulan Bator] is insane. It's like The Road.
Michelle Rodriguez
The more confidence you have in yourself and the more you believe that you are destined to do what you are gonna do, it will happen.
Michelle Rodriguez
