Rachel Weisz's Filmography
Rachel Weisz Information and Trivia
She has a fantastically expressive face with the sexiest eyes in film history. She has been able to build chemistry with every actor she's worked with. I have been Rachel's biggest fan since I saw her in "Chain Reaction"... and when the "Mummy" movies made her a superstar, she began to parlay that fame into a great career filled with challenging roles. I think she has all the talent in the world and the breathtaking beauty to become one of the great actresses of our generation.
I wish Rachel continued success and happiness!

Rachel Weisz Quotes
"If he turns me into a mummy, you're the first one I'm coming after." - A line from "The Mummy".
"It's hard to stay grounded. It's so fucked up with all these stick thin people!" - On the Hollywood Scene.
"I'm not one for parties and stuff like that. I get a bit nervous around lots of people. Being invisible is what I really enjoy. That I find quite entertaining." - On her social life.
"I actually think if you are an actor and you're working and you're doing pretty well like I am, I feel you really have no right to grumble. I don't think you do. Obviously I could think of things that piss me off sometimes, but it's such an amazing job. You get to travel, you get to stay in beautiful places, meet incredible people. And every time you do a different role you learn something new. Frankly, if you don't like it, you should stop and do something else." - On being an actor.
"Theatre is going back to basics, going back to the core of your heart and technique. There's a lot to be precious about the theatre because it is a very magical feeling to be on the stage." - On Theatre versus Film.
"I think it's true in that you have to stop thinking too much and just use your heart and your gut and your instincts. Any intellect just gets in the way. You just have to go with the feeling and not over-analyze." - On her acting technique.
"I'm not at all like the tough, sexy femme fatale in 'Confidence' but it's fun to play people who're really different from you, from different cultures and places. I suppose I'm a bit quieter than most of the people I play." - On her choice of roles.
"I found myself a sophisticated, educated American. He's not an actor. He's traveled the world. He knows where Europe is, unlike a lot of Americans. He's very cultured, but he's all man." - On her hubby, Darren Aronofsky.
"I'm a bit superstitious about certain things, like what shoes to wear. If I wear the wrong shoes, the whole day may go wrong. Or if I don't get to the bottom of the stairs before the door closes - stupid little things like that. Then I also have all the normal ones, like don't walking under ladders and so on." - On her quirks.
"People find out I'm an actress and I see that 'whore' look flicker across their eyes." - On others reactions to her profession.
"I thought it was an awful film!" - On "Chain Reaction".
