Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
(on whom she considers her heroes) Rachel: Anyone who dares to be decent, to do what they know is right, to think independently, to change their world, however big or small that sphere may be, for the better (Call me a cheese ball, but it's 100% true).
-
Rachel: My favorite food is pepper. I think that's because, when I was just a little kid, my parents told me, 'Pepper isn't for kids.' So I loved it.
-
Rachel: I try not to think about whether I am making a film, or doing a play, or whatever, I just try as far as possible to make it real.
-
Rachel: In film, I think it's harder to find people taking chances on new good work; you see a lot of the same thing done over and over. And there's not a huge number of great parts and when there are, there's a lot of people competing for them.
-
Rachel: I wanted to be everything. And in acting you kind of get to.
-
(on preparing for a character) Rachel: I try as much as possible to think about people I know or I watch people a lot, I've always been an observer of human behaviour.
-
(about what she thinks about tabloids) Rachel: I just try and see what they're going to make up next and I try to just have fun with it and not take it all too seriously, because otherwise you can't function.
-
Rachel: I'm always silly! I'm very silly. You have to ask my boyfriend. I tend to talk in a baby voice and I'll sing and dance around. I kind of have multiple personalities, and my boyfriend has begun to name them. I've got many different voices -- I have a Southern girl, an Irish girl. I have a gibberish language that you'd have to decipher. I guess I try to never take myself too seriously.
-
(about why she avoids Hollywood movies) Rachel: I try to avoid them as well because I think they can be dangerous. ... To make people want to be something they're not -- to make people think that you have to be perfect, to be happy and things like that (in) "teen movies" ... I am not attracted to. I'm not sure about the message they're giving to society.
-
(about her intention of doing work behind the camera) Rachel: Certainly. Anything involved in the arts I love, and I hope to be able to explore. ... I would love to eventually do behind-the-scenes stuff.
-
(about the why of her passion for baking) Rachel: There's something very ritualistic about it.
-
Rachel: Basically, I get paid to be crazy. I get paid to believe I'm someone else, live in a completely false reality, and believe it's real. And that's a little scary. And I do it to the best of my ability. But it's kind of like swimming out to sea. You have to leave enough energy to swim back, and sometimes you get scared you swam too far.
