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.

More quotes by 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 would like to see a fierce Fantasia mixed with Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in one. That's the kind of movies I want to make.
Michelle Rodriguez
I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.
Michelle Rodriguez
I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and because of that, it has taken me so long to grow into an adult human being.
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
I don't like weak women and I don't find it interesting to play them. I'm inspired by them, when I see them in dramas, like with Natalie Portman, in almost every movie she's in. It's awesome that chicks can really go there, and it's beautiful to watch, but I don't think I'm interested, in any way, shape or form, in embodying those creatures.
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 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
My dad was more, Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid. He's more the intellectual type.
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
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
I do have a delicate side.
Michelle Rodriguez
I'm always researching ancient religions, and I was also raised Jehovah's Witness, so that kind of scarred me for life.
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
I'm like, Well, damn, that means that I have to carry a flag. I don't have the freedom to just do anything, because I have the political weight of having this last name and my heritage. It's not like I've transcended, Will Smith-style. It takes a lot to pull that off, to cross over, and transcend.
Michelle Rodriguez
I've always been and will always be very private about my personal life. If anything ever goes public, it is by default, because I happened to be in a place where I was being watched. But for the most part, I honestly don't care what people think. I never have. If I did, I'd probably present myself a little more carefully.
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 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
Growing up in Jersey City was interesting. I got to learn a lot about different cultures: I had Hindu friends, Middle Eastern friends, black friends, Spanish friends.
