I thought about making movies. It hit me when I was about 14, 15 years old.

I used to go over to my friend's house and we'd watch VCR tapes, three of them a day, and I was like, 'I could come up with better stories than this.' And I've wanted to write films ever since.

I just loved storytelling. That's what I thought I would end up doing. I thought I would probably go to school and end up writing for a magazine or something.

People don't like talking about it, but if you're Spanish, you feel a weight.

I don't have much history - I've got Rosie Perez, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Moreno. That's it. That's the history of Latin women in Hollywood, really.

I'm like, 'Well, damn, that means that I have to carry a flag.' I don't have the freedom to just do anything, because I have the political weight of having this last name and my heritage. It's not like I've transcended, Will Smith-style. It takes a lot to pull that off, to cross over, and transcend.

I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.

I think there are three types of actors. There are the ones that do the ego thing, which is 'I'm never going to look bad in a movie, ever.' This is mostly the action film dudes, like, 'Nah, hell no. He ain't punchin' me! I'd whoop his ass!'

We all have our moments. But you can switch it around. Then you've got the activist type who bases their decisions in the development of a character on what it symbolizes to society - what the ethical code is.

[There is] type [of actors ]a true thespian who doesn't give a flying rat's ass what it is as long as it's deep, powerful, and painful, and they will dive in headfirst. I really respect those people. Meryl Streep is amazing at it.

I've never really been about looking good - I'm just bad at that stuff.

I wouldn't want to sacrifice the last years that I have of being youthful in this business to have kids.

Michelle Rodriguez 158 quotes

I've been part of really big things that are amazing, but I haven't taken on that responsibility yet. So I don't want to sell myself short by having a kid and then regret not doing what I set out to do.

I'd done two years' worth of extra work, and all my friends who I would go on auditions with went to school for acting. These were kids who knew when they were 14 years old that this was what they wanted to do with their lives, and they prepared for it, and they're getting canned at every audition.

Maybe I exclude myself from that genre by not getting dressed up often enough, by acting ghetto most of the time, and running around in sweats and Timberlands.

I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.

There's a voice inside of me that I know people will relate to; I just haven't really had the opportunity to let it flourish. To sit there and explain to a guy what it's like to be a kick-ass woman is hard. I think there're only a handful of directors out there that get it.

I wish that something interesting would come across the desk. I'm bored by what people think is interesting.

Michelle Rodriguez 158 quotes

I have absolutely nothing consistent in my life. But that's where serendipity comes in and I love that. One day I'm going to have to sacrifice that to bring life into the world. But the more I can hold off on that, the happier I'll be. It's scary for me.

My favorite part of my body is my brain. I think no matter what my body looks like I wont be satisfied unless I know how to use it.
