More quotes by 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 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
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
I'd stare up at the sky and just dream a lot. Still do. I dreamed that I didn't belong here, that I was going to travel a lot.
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'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
At school, I was this tomboy kid who just loved to hang out with her friends and learn curse words, trying to fit in with the cool kids and defending all the kids who got picked on.
Michelle Rodriguez
Maybe I exclude myself from that genre by not getting dressed up often enough, by acting ghetto most of the time, and running around in sweats and Timberlands.
Michelle Rodriguez
I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.
Michelle Rodriguez
I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.
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
The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves.
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'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 a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.
Michelle Rodriguez
I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.
Michelle Rodriguez
I thought about making movies. It hit me when I was about 14, 15 years old.
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 don't see the point of marriage. But when I need my love, I get my love.
