| Rachel Weisz QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
Although my mother would have liked it if I was a doctor and a movie star at the same time because mum's greedy.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz

As a child I was the best tree climber in our neighbourhood, I was like a little monkey. I've never been afraid of hurting myself or a little physical discomfort.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz

As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film, he falls deeper in love with his wife, so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement, but it also has heart and soul.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz

Directors, on the whole, like to control things. They like to know exactly what's going to happen and how it's going to happen.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I don't believe your soul mate has to share your politics.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I find Hollywood really toxic.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I love the fact that's it's a retrospective love story, that it's told in flashback and there are a lot of assumptions that Ralph and the audience make about my character which are then revised as the film goes on. I think it's a beautiful narrative structure that's very original.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz

I moved to New York last year and I love it. It's a huge change and I've always wanted to spend time there. It's like a more intense London, and everything's up a few notches. The lights are brighter, the pace is faster and the food's better.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I prefer being as far from the centre of celebrity as possible.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I suppose I'm doing things that aren't traditionally feminine, whatever that means.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I think actors have a choice of drawing attention to themselves or living on the outskirts.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I think London's sexy because it's so full of eccentrics.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I thought it was funny - a librarian in an action movie. Like someone stuck in the wrong genre.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
If I went out in killer heels and full makeup, blow dry, the whole thing - anyone dressed up like that could be intimidating to men and women, really. It's so, look at me. Do you know what I mean? But I love women.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
If I'm just in dungarees, I don't think I would intimidate anyone.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
If it's bad dialogue then I would think of nothing worse than the camera lingering on me and the person I'm talking to for fifteen minutes.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
In England, Oxfam was very generous. They allowed me to talk to a lot of people who had been working out in the field.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
In reality, the main thing that keeps me awake at night is probably the destruction of the planet; that's what gets me pretty upset.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
It is a political thriller. It's very action packed and it's very exciting, but at the same time it's a very big soulful love story about longing and loss. They're not separate, they're completely dependent on one another.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
L.A. makes you feel ugly.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz

Obviously I'd seen City of God and it was such an extraordinary piece of work that I very much wanted to work with Fernando.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
People find out I'm an actress and I see that 'whore' look flicker across their eyes.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
Really meeting the people of Africa was the inspiration. I'd never seen poverty on that level ever in my life. It's very extreme: no sanitation, no running water... and a very high level of disease. And yet, there was a kind of spiritual wealth that these people had that was so overwhelming.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
The older you get the more capable you get at managing life.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
There's not much room for eccentricity in Hollywood, and eccentricity is what's sexy in people.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
Well, I think you and I have always felt the same way - that we're Jewish but we can get away with just being exotic. We're kind of Jews in disguise.
Quotation of Rachel Weisz
|
You have to be quite stupid to act.
