More quotes by 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
My dad was more, Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid. He's more the intellectual type.
Michelle Rodriguez
I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.
Michelle Rodriguez
I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.
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
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
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 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 don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.
Michelle Rodriguez
I learned that you can make a sci-fi film that is satisfying overseas. European people have everything in check. I'd make every sci-fi film in Europe. They only work 14 hours a day. After that, it's overtime.
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
The only place that I'd be worried about being typecast is the independent film world.
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
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.
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
I thought about making movies. It hit me when I was about 14, 15 years old.
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
I do have a delicate side.
Michelle Rodriguez
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.
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.
