My dad was more, Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid. He's more the intellectual type.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f**king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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.

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.

Image
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
Image
I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
I just love feeling myself, and moving, flexing, jumping, expressing, dancing and doing movement. I'm in tune with it. I like to express myself with my body, more so than intellectually. But, I am a geek.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
When I was about, I'd say, 18 or 19 years old, I wanted to be a part of the CIA just because they know those intimate secrets... So I was just always into knowing. I like to know things.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
I had older brothers who would pick on me, and injustice always boiled my blood.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.

The only place that I'd be worried about being typecast is the independent film world.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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.

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.
