I'm pretty private about my neuroses. You're not neurotic if you talk to yourself - everyone does - you're only neurotic if you hear an answer.

More quotes by Rachel Weisz
Well, I'm not at all like the tough, sexy femme fatale in Confidence but it's fun to play people who're really different from you, from different cultures and places. I suppose I'm a bit quieter than most of the people I play.
Rachel Weisz
I think mystery is kind of great. I don't know anything about Bette Davis or Katharine Hepburn or Ava Gardner - not really - and I like that. I love watching their movies because they're my personal movie stars. I don't know what they eat and who their trainer is.
Rachel Weisz
I just kind of muddled through in my 20s. I did whatever I got offered, to be honest, to pay the bills. I didn't really know what I was doing. There are some actors in their 20s who are very sure. I wasn't very sure what I was doing. I feel like I've only really just got going.
Rachel Weisz
It's also that comedians don't have the kind of narcissism that actors have. They're writers who perform their own material. It's more interesting. And they're sexy because they risk more. Stand-up comedians risk more than anyone.
Rachel Weisz
I don't like travelling. Which is ridiculous. And it's not because I'm afraid of dying on the plane or anything. I just like to stay at home.
Rachel Weisz
I go and see music all the time.
Rachel Weisz
When I play a part, I never think about likability.
Rachel Weisz
I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.
Rachel Weisz
Eccentricity is what's sexy in people.
Rachel Weisz
That was me under the bath and the water being held down. The director wanted it to look as real as possible so he told Keanu, in front of me, don't go easy on her. So it was scary.
Rachel Weisz
My real fantasy if I was to drop out would be to live in a mobile home and be a hippie and drive around festivals and have millions of children - children with dreadlocks and nose rings - and play the flute.
Rachel Weisz
I don't know anything about science.
Rachel Weisz
Normally, I would do research. For The Constant Gardener, I played an activist, so I went to meet activists. You can find them dotted around. But with The Brothers Bloom, I couldn't meet a nutty heiress who lived in a bubble in a mansion. There was no one to meet. So this was just an active imagining, a daydream.
Rachel Weisz
I don't think balance is something you get from someone else it's something women have to find from within. For me, finding balance is still a work in progress.
Rachel Weisz
Botox should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen. Acting is all about expression why would you want to iron out a frown?
Rachel Weisz
It's really hard to make a good film it's really, really hard. So, the director's very important, and a character that can be described with more than one or two adjectives, maybe with contradictions. Contradictions are always good because that's truthful.
Rachel Weisz
I could never write. I would just be too lonely. What's great about acting is, it's so collaborative.
Rachel Weisz
In L.A., unless you've just won an Oscar or you're Mr. Studio Head, no one talks to you. Even at parties.
Rachel Weisz
I didn't think the teachers had the right to tell me what to do. I would just disobey, talk in the classroom, get very bad grades.
Rachel Weisz
You never know how things will turn out. And you can't really say it turned out wrong. Whatever happens, happens. The important thing is that you followed your gut.
