I think there are three types of actors. There are the ones that do the ego thing, which is I'm never going to look bad in a movie, ever. This is mostly the action film dudes, like, Nah, hell no. He ain't punchin' me! I'd whoop his ass!

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.

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.

I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.
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.

Image
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.

I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.

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.

I was born in Texas and I lived there 'till I was 8. Then I moved to the Dominican Republic with my mom, lived there for two years and forgot every word of English I knew.

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

My dad was more, Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid. He's more the intellectual type.

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.

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.

There's a voice inside of me that I know people will relate to I just haven't really had the opportunity to let it flourish. To sit there and explain to a guy what it's like to be a kick-ass woman is hard. I think there're only a handful of directors out there that get it.

I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.
