Evan Rachel Wood Quotes

2. (on playing "Tracy" in the movie "Thirteen") Once you commit, you commit. You can't hold back. We all knew that the only way we would pull this (movie) off was for everyone to give everything they had. I could not hold back. 

3. I like to do movies that I don't expect everyone to like. If someone comes up to me and says: "I hated that movie you did," I think, at least you felt passionate about it. It stuck with you and you had some feeling about it.

4. (on "Across the Universe" co-star Jim Sturgess) He's the best guy friend I have. I've always hung out with guys, but it's hard to find really good guy relationships that don't get weird. And it never has with us, once. 

5. I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls...I'm into androgyny in general.




6. I am trying to be a good person. I am trying to be myself, and if nobody likes me for me, that is their problem.

7. Whenever something bad happens, I just always have to tell myself that this is happening for a reason, and I have to be learning something from this and taking something away from this. And you just have to think about the big picture, and you have to remember just how small you are in the grand scheme of things, and that in the long run, you're probably going to be okay. So that's all I kept thinking about...just trying to make the best out of .

8. I look back on some of the stuff I wore and I'm so embarrassed. I definitely blame it on this clique of girls I was friends with back then. I've been talked into wearing stuff that I didn't want to wear. Now, I like very simple, elegant things, by Oscar de la Renta or Armani.

9. Oh God, I worry about everything, such as I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm not good at communicating what's going on in my head.

13. Falling in love is one of the scariest and hardest things that someone can do, but it's also the most amazing thing that can happen to you.

14. I just hate all that (showbusiness mingling). I just have to come back to reality for a little bit, have a real life. I'm pretty laid-back. I hang out with my friends, read, go to concerts and try and travel as much as I can. I'm not a party girl, I don't eat at the Ivy and I'm not shopping on Rodeo Drive. It's pretty easy to stay out of that if you want to. There are other places. I really like being able to go out anywhere and nobody really cares.

15. I've always had a real fascination with Alice in Wonderland and really related to it in some way. And since I was little, people always nicknamed me Alice, even total strangers.

19. (on her fame) It is a little weird, and I do feel a little bit disoriented sometimes. I'm usually pretty shy around people and pretty private. So yeah, it is a little weird all of a sudden to see yourself everywhere with your tongue hanging out! And a pierced tongue!

22. I used to not even be able to order pizza on the phone because I was just so shy. I think that's why so much comes out on-screen, because that's my time to let go in a safe place. When you're doing that, it's all written down on paper and it's total fiction.

23. All my life people have made fun of me because I was so skinny. They kind of made me feel bad about it sometimes. I worried that maybe people will think I am really anorexic.

25. (on being independent and getting her own home) I'm such a crazy perfectionist, I probably stood in Linens 'n Things looking at the square plates or the round plates for, like, 10 minutes, going: "God, this is a big decision. These are my first plates! What am I going to get? What do I do?
 

26. If the world were to end tomorrow, I really believe I could say I have lived a full life already - and that I have been extremely lucky.

31. The biggest lessons I've learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn't the one who was angry.




32. You get a script that's not very good, and they're offering you millions of dollars, but you think: Okay, this script is so bad, I won't even do it for a million dollars…And then it gets to No. 1 at the box office, and people ask: "Don't you regret not doing that?" Not really.

40. (on doing her first nude scene in "Across the Universe") I won't just take my clothes off for anybody. It has to be the right circumstances.

It's a sleeping woman and somebody is singing something, which is one of the most beautiful songs written about a woman, period. And he's singing about you.

41. I'll never forget my 24th birthday when my tooth got punched out. And for a second I was like, it would be really hilarious if I sold it on eBay. But I can't, that's just too creepy. I don't think I can go there.

42. I didn't really get a normal childhood.

43. Just look at the messages today's media are sending everybody, from TV and commercials to actors and singers. Kids are just drowning in that 24-7 and it's getting really bad.

44. I don't remember a time when I wasn't acting. I have taken time off to figure out if it's what I really want to do, and it is. The only other job I'd want is to be a psychologist, as I spend most of my time analyzing people and emotions.

45. We all just kinda did everything we thought we were supposed to do and girls dated the guys they were supposed to and did things with the guys they were supposed to.
