RACHEL MCADAMSI hadn’t read the Dr. Strange comics growing up.
RACHEL MCADAMSI loved superhero stuff.So comfortable, I got to wear like orthopedic running shoes every day.
RACHEL MCADAMSI love vintage clothes. I have a real passion which probably comes from the days of my mum who had this great dress up box that she put all her clothes from the 60s and 70s in – platform shoes and jumpsuits and boots.
RACHEL MCADAMSWould I rather be dental floss or a toothbrush? is that a question? Um, I would actually rather be floss, I think, if I was using me. Because I don’t really floss enough.
RACHEL MCADAMSThe craziest thing I’ve ever done to get a guy’s attention? I admit I stalked someone. I showed up at a restaurant where I knew the guy worked, and we were actually good friends and had lost touch, and I pretended that I didn’t know he worked there.

RACHEL MCADAMSYou know when you find a great dress, you’ve gotta hold on to it.
RACHEL MCADAMSI’m waiting for them to make ‘Thundercats’. I would love to be Cheetara.

RACHEL MCADAMSI did get to shadow some amazing brain surgeons, a female brain surgeon in Toronto, another surgeon in London. And then we had a surgeon onset [of Doctor Strange] every day. So and he taught me to do sutures and was practicing on turkey breasts, raw turkey breasts.
RACHEL MCADAMSThere’s no one who’s ever been significantly in my life for whom I don’t have a sort of tenderness because they helped to shape who I am.
RACHEL MCADAMSI think love is the through line and it’s universal and it doesn’t matter what period of time, time or place, or people, that’s something we all connect to. That’s the thin thread that I think keeps it altogether.
