Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Mischa: (On finally having her ears pierced) It definitely does still feel a bit strange to have them done, and I'm still getting used to changing earrings - It still feels really weird to be pushing bits of metal through holes in my earlobes that weren't there a few weeks back, and actually seeing and feeling the holes in my lobes is still a bit freaky. But I'm slowly getting used to having pierced ears, and I'm glad I did get them done because I'm having loads of fun buying and trying all different kinds of earrings.
-
Mischa: Of course you want to be strong. You want to be, like, 'Oh I don't give a f**k what they say about me. I don't care if they're saying that I look a bit pudgy right now or that I'm too skinny.' What is going to be perfect for these people? You have to come to the conclusion that there is no perfect. When are they actually going to be, like, 'Right, so she's figured it out?' Never.
-
Mischa: My character on The O.C. was fit, she had to look great, she was that skinny rich bitch and I was right under the scrutiny of the paparazzi and it affected me more than I let on.
-
Mischa: (Talking about her DUI arrest) I was pulled over... just that. Obviously, I'm 100 percent responsible for my actions in this case and I'm really disappointed in myself... I don't know what to say about it, except that I'm not perfect and I just don't ever intend to do something this stupid again.
-
Mischa: (Speaking about her break-up with Kooks singer Luke Pritchard) I think Luke is a great guy, but the type better suited as a friend. We have a surprising amount of mutual friends in England and I don't regret our time together, I just couldn't keep it going.
-
Mischa: (On her July 2009 hospitalisation) The funny thing is, if all this happened in New York, no one would care. New York lets you be who you are, and people aren't as judgmental. I'm so glad to be back here.
-
Mischa: (Speaking in 2003) No, my ears aren't pierced. I've thought about having them done a few times, and almost done it a couple of times - but I'm such a chicken when it comes to pain and backed out each time! I'd like to get them done, because it can be so difficult getting good clip-ons, and I guess I probably will at some point, but no, they're not pierced at the moment.
-
Mischa: When I signed up for The Beautiful Life and we were discussing costumes for Sonja, they asked me if I'd be prepared to have my ears pierced, so that Sonja will be able to wear the same earrings as all the other models in some of the fashion show scenes. And, as I'd already been thinking again about maybe getting them done, I figured that maybe now was the time, so I said 'OK' and got them done a couple of days later.
-
Mischa: When I got to Hollywood I didn't know anything about the business and you don't make the best of friends. You make a few mistakes when you're that age and it took me a while to find the friends I needed to be truly comfortable. I'm a private person, you won't find more than four or five true friends around me, ever.
-
Mischa: (on what she's looking for in a guy) I'm looking for a guy who is confident with a great sense of humour - that's so important to me, as long as I can laugh I'm always happy. I like to be light-hearted in my down time, so for me it's all about some depth, intelligence and confidence. That's what matters the most.
-
Mischa: (denying she is a party girl) I know I look the part, and people used to come up to me in the street and talk to me as if I was a crazy party girl. But I don't go out clubbing because that whole thing is too claustrophobic. As for shopping, I'd rather walk my dogs, Ziggy Stardust and Charlie Barton. I cook a mean lasagne, and some people say my potatoes au gratin are pretty on fire. I guess some people are disappointed. I'm always being associated with other girls, but we're not in the same crowd. I have only met Paris Hilton once and that was in passing.
-
Mischa: It kind of irritates me that I'm seen as this pretty face. People also say I'm too thin. The truth is, pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It comes with all these stigmas.
-
Mischa (on holidaying in the UK): I love all the mashed potatoes, the mushy peas and brussel sprouts. And oh my god, Cadbury's chocolate! It is so much better than Hershey's which we have in America.
-
Mischa: I like to play dark, offbeat, quirky characters.
-
Mischa: I'm not one of these people really into the latest fetishes like yoga or the Kabbalah. I can't imagine anything worse than wearing a trendy red bracelet around my arm and running around saying, 'I'm at peace with myself.'
-
Mischa: Sometimes men are scared of me. You know, you become kind of an icon on television, and people are a little bit unsure, careful. It's funny.
-
Mischa: I've had fellow actors tell me... You have to throw more tantrums!
