The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.

More quotes by Rachel McAdams
I did do some Shakespeare on film, it's really difficult. It's really interesting, because I was doing a series in Canada called 'Slings and Arrows' and it was about a company based around the Stratford Festival.
Rachel McAdams
My mom's a nurse so I'd kind of grown up with, around medicine which is probably why I became an actress instead.
Rachel McAdams
During a movie, chemistry is so important, and yet they just assume actors can fake their way through it. That doesn't always work.
Rachel McAdams
Running through airports with pounds of luggage - that's a good workout.
Rachel McAdams
I think love is the through line and it's universal and it doesn't matter what period of time, time or place, or people, that's something we all connect to. That's the thin thread that I think keeps it altogether.
Rachel McAdams
I'm very silly as a person, but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford, whom I was in Morning Glory with, has mastered that dry funny better than anyone.
Rachel McAdams
You know, I have some issues. But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.
Rachel McAdams
I've always liked dressing up. And I love a high heel - the higher the better. I just feel funny in flats.
Rachel McAdams
I do have a side of me that would just love to be stuck in the woods and have to stick it out and be really resourceful.
Rachel McAdams
If I hurt someone, if I were to accidentally poke someone's eye out, I would laugh. And then I'd say, 'I'm sorry, I really do feel bad,' but then I'm on the floor rolling.
Rachel McAdams
You know I never used to be a bad flyer, but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven's 'Red Eye'. I don't think they're linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are, so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.
Rachel McAdams
I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes and clothes. It's preferable when it's not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute. We talk about things like, maybe my character can't afford these Christian Louboutins.
Rachel McAdams
[On Doctor Strange] just from costumes to everything was just so well done, so beautifully thought through and well-crafted. And so - , and they didn't even make me pretend that much with green screen.
Rachel McAdams
I did get to shadow some amazing brain surgeons, a female brain surgeon in Toronto, another surgeon in London. And then we had a surgeon onset [of Doctor Strange] every day. So and he taught me to do sutures and was practicing on turkey breasts, raw turkey breasts.
Rachel McAdams
Would I rather be dental floss or a toothbrush? is that a question? Um, I would actually rather be floss, I think, if I was using me. Because I don't really floss enough.
Rachel McAdams
I learn that you can work really hard and still have a great time. That is part of Russell Crowe philosophy.
Rachel McAdams
I've been given lots of great advice, in my life. As an actor, just being as honest and as present as you can be.
Rachel McAdams
I personally think you can have a really rich and full life with no abs. Abs are for wimps.
Rachel McAdams
You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.
Rachel McAdams
The craziest thing I've ever done to get a guy's attention? I admit I stalked someone. I showed up at a restaurant where I knew the guy worked, and we were actually good friends and had lost touch, and I pretended that I didn't know he worked there.
