I'm always researching ancient religions, and I was also raised Jehovah's Witness, so that kind of scarred me for life.

I thought about making movies. It hit me when I was about 14, 15 years old.

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.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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 don't see the point of marriage. But when I need my love, I get my love.
Michelle Rodriguez
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
I had older brothers who would pick on me, and injustice always boiled my blood.
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.

Image
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.

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.

I trained with an ex-Navy Seal. We shot a lot of guns. Real bullets... I underwent commando training.

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 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.

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

Image
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!
