Rachel Hannah Weisz (/vaɪs/ "vice"; born 7 March 1970) is an Academy Award winning British actress.
I would LOVE to be in the Star Trek sequel! Yeah! I would love to! I better write that letter to J. J. [Abrahams]
I always do my interviews face to face.
I think things are funny when the character is taking it totally seriously.
I think that in big-budget movies there's a lot of other stuff going on besides acting, like special effects.
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 feel like I'm one of the many working mothers. And I only have one child. I know working mums who have three or four. It's definitely a challenge but it's a wonderful challenge to be able to do both.
I really wanted to do a comedy. I've done a lot of drama, and comedy was the one genre I was not being offered. So I became obsessive about getting one. I tried with two little parts in comedies that were more mainstream, I was kind of fumbling around, and then I read The Brothers Bloom and knew it was the one I wanted to jump into. Did it take adjusting? Actually, it's not really any different from doing drama.
I prefer smaller movies because they tend to be more about character than about story.
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.
I love the way girls in London dress; it's so different to the American 'blow-dry and immaculate grooming' thing.
You have to be quite stupid to act.
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.
I find Hollywood really toxic.
I like acting too much and it's too, I'm just too busy doing that and I'm too hungry for it, to get behind the camera. I mean, unless I could act in it, too. I don't think I've got the right brain. I'm too disorganized.
I was an English-literature major, and that's all about stories and narratives.
The happiest days of my youth were when my brother and I would run through the woods and feel quite safe.
I love the international feeling In New Yokk. Different foods. Different people. There's everything here. Museums, theatre, there's so much to do I feel guilty about not doing too many things.
I go and see music all the time.
I just think that things get easier as you get older and wiser and more experienced. You get more confident about who you are as you get older. I find that really comforting.
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.
