More quotes by 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
I'm waiting for them to make 'Thundercats'. I would love to be Cheetara.

A friend of mine had this great theory about the Teletubbies, that it's preparing us for being mindless. And getting us ready for living in an underground world. That's why the scenery is so flat.
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
Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but its hard with a kiss.
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
There's no one who's ever been significantly in my life for whom I don't have a sort of tenderness because they helped to shape who I am.

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.

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
My mother never put an emphasis on looks. She let us grow up on our own time line. She never forced any beauty regimen into my world.
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 always wish I could go back and see the people that I love as children.
Rachel McAdams
I do think having a mother as a nurse who's a very kind of compass - , she's so compassionate and she really unfortunately would take her work home with her sometimes.
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
Running through airports with pounds of luggage - that's a good workout.
Rachel McAdams
You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.
Rachel McAdams
I'm not an amazing cook, but I can follow a recipe.
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
I think they [Judy Blume comics] are so different from the Dr. Strange ones are so different from the other, from the other comics which is nice.
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.
