Zitat des Tages von Mia Wasikowska:
Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.
Although I'm not particularly troubled myself, I do have a lot of empathy for troubled characters.
I got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.
The wardrobe is always the last piece of the puzzle. When you step into the clothing, that's the final step to figuring out that character.
It's really rare as a teenager to be offered a role that actually resembles what it's like to be a teenager, because there are so many stereotypes that might be attractive to watch, but make you think: 'Who is that? Who has that life at 16?'
I've had a great experience with pretty much everybody I've worked with.
I always try and learn as much as I can from different departments on a film set.
Coming from dance, I feel acting is - I'm not going to say easy, because it's not. But the dance world is more hard-core.
I was probably a bit of a mimic when I was a kid, and I used to imitate people.
I don't consider myself a starlet or a Hollywood person.
Popularity is very inconsistent. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. It usually just comes in waves.
I've never been happier to be born in this time than when I was wearing a corset.
As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
What I like about film is it explores imperfections.
Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three.
I get restless easily so I always want to keep working, but I am trying to pace it as well.
I always collect a bunch of images for every film that I do, that reminds me of an essence of the character, or the time that they live in, or what they're experiencing.
Photography, for me, is something I can control fully. It's wholly my own expressions.
I'd love to go off to college to study photography, art history, humanities.
Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.
I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
I like my anonymity - that when I meet people they don't know me.
When I step back and look at all of these really successful people that I've worked with, one thing I do take away from it is how hard they work and how focused they are.
With a corset on, you can't breathe properly.
The jobs I enjoy most are the ones where I never feel like I'm performing. I'm just feeling things.
I love Europe.
I like to be absorbed in what my character's doing.
Dance has such an intensity to it. You become, in a way, an intense person.
I like to think of myself as an observer.
I want to just do my job and do it well.
As a teenager I was very anxious. I had a lot of energy and passion that I wanted to channel into creative things, and I always felt like I wasn't achieving enough.
