| Radha Mitchell Quotes |
| (On the origins of her unusual name) "My father couldn't decide which name to pick. My parents traveled in India. They were very impractical and romantic. Not me. I've always been very pragmatic. Now I've become very into my computer." "Nudity is totally fine. When you view it through the lens of a prudish, inhibited culture, then it becomes a little perverted. But the experience of acting is that you transcend your own experience." " I do! Have you ever been to Burning Man? You see all kinds of nude bodies there. " "Did you know that in China babies don't wear diapers? The baby has a slit up the ass of its clothes, and you just spread its legs over a trash can and it pisses." (On what being a feminist means) "Equal opportunities for everyone on the planet. If women are going to prostitute themselves, men should as well. There should be more male hookers. And eighteen-year-old women should demand satisfaction from their men." "I'm not talking about it. Ultimately, what I seek to nurture is pure communication and love. Receptivity is divine. Receive what's happening in life and say yes to it. Like a big vagina." "Because in Australia there really isn't a lot to do. There aren't a lot of opportunities. " “Also, the whole kind of star system is not ingrained in Australians in the same way that it might be if you’re a young actor here.” "I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol. " "I had a friend, and we always used to pretend to be twins. We had this fantasy about going to Hollywood together. We were about four. " "I never wanted to be a movie star" " I think my parents see my life now as very conservative. " "I want to be a blonde vampire. Catherine Deneuve was a blonde vampire, and she was my favourite vampire ever. " " Life is neither comedy or tragedy, life is what you make of it. " "Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it's not the most Christian of sentiments. " "Yeah I think Pitch Black was edgy, I think that's what worked for our film. " “I do Yoga. I’d like to say I do it every morning, but I don’t, I just don’t have the time.” “I went through a phase of not wanting to watch any movies at all, and lately I’ve got back into watching films, I think because I meet people that make them all the time, and I feel like if I’ve seen their movie I know more about them, and it’s a better discussion to have. And in doing that I rekindled my love of movies.” “For me, even just being English was a whole sort of experience in as much as I’m Australian.” "I guess I'm quite private, and I don't really want to talk about things that I'm in the process of, or figuring out, or things that I am in," "I guess it meant the opportunity to work in a film with a budget of $100 million is always interesting," (On working on the big budget film Surrogates) "You would like to say 'Yes,' but no, because you feel kind of like a fish out of water and that's what's great about India. It's such a shocking shift, that you are very much just in the moment. I mean, we were acting with kids that were living on the street, and it was a very low-budget film, so one of my make-up artists had HIV and he couldn't tell anybody, because if he did he'd never work again, and he was living in this tiny apartment, plus he had a wife who also had HIV." (when asked if working in India for her film "The Waiting City" kept her grounded. "There's something quite important about that cycle of taking care of your parents and then being taken care of — the reversal of that situation." "At times my character is operated by other people, though I can't tell you who, or why, You meet her as a real person briefly, which is interesting. It's funny, because all the real people in this movie are fat, I guess because they're sitting in their chairs. So I've got this really fat bum. I don't know if it's featured in the movie, but it took a while to make. And I have fake teeth. It's quite a good look." (On Surrogates) "There's a different look with the surrogate — she had a padded bra and long hair. But what I discovered is that if there's no other preference, the fat ass was a bit more comfortable." |
