Rachel Weisz

“I think there are two aspects to ageing: there's the physical side and what's happening inside.”

“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.”

“I'm slightly unsure as to what my goal is. I just keep doing jobs.”

“You have your real life and then you have your work.”

“I find Hollywood really toxic.”

“I'll say anything to live.”

“I'm very successful and do lots of films but I've never actually done anything extraordinary.”

“I think things are funny when the character is taking it totally seriously.”

“In real life, I'm polite and nice all the time. It's fun to play people who aren't. It's escapism.”

“The older you get the more capable you get at managing life.”

“People want to imagine I spend every night going to premieres and putting on frocks and getting into limos, and yet I do that maybe twice a year, if that.”

“I love the way girls in London dress; it's so different to the American 'blow-dry and immaculate grooming' thing.”

“Bad things happen when people work together. Everything goes out of control.”

“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.”

“L.A. makes you feel ugly.”

“I'm a storyteller, I'm an actor, an entertainer.”

“I haven't only been offered Hasidic roles.”

“I'm marriable. But I'm not married.”

“As an actress, it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.”

“You get perspective on things when you're away from your child, and in a way, your love for them becomes even deeper.”
