The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
RACHEL MCADAMSThe physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
RACHEL MCADAMSI’m a little funny when it comes to blood and guts and stuff like that.
RACHEL MCADAMSI think they [Judy Blume comics] are so different from the Dr. Strange ones are so different from the other, from the other comics which is nice.
RACHEL MCADAMSA kiss with anyone, on or off camera, can be intimidating. I’ve been kissing for nearly two decades now, and I’m always convinced I’m not doing it right. Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but it’s hard with a kiss.
RACHEL MCADAMSI’ve had heartbreaking auditions where they don’t even look at you. You’re out before you’re in.
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 MCADAMSA friend of mine had this great theory about the Teletubbies, that it’s preparing us for being mindless. And getting us ready for living in an underground world. That’s why the scenery is so flat.
RACHEL MCADAMSI’m not an amazing cook, but I can follow a recipe.
RACHEL MCADAMSI think people are wise to keep love and work separate.
RACHEL MCADAMSMy mom’s a nurse so I’d kind of grown up with, around medicine which is probably why I became an actress instead.
RACHEL MCADAMSI want my own cloak. I mean, that’s also up in the air that you know – . I haven’t really thought about it because it’s you know, really is sort of to be determined. I think the success of the film [Doctor Strange] determines that.
RACHEL MCADAMSYou really don’t have a life when you’re working. I always think “oh, I’m gonna see everybody on my days off. I’m gonna read so many books and see so many films” and then three months go by.
RACHEL MCADAMSI think I kind of grew up with that a little bit and have great admiration for people who do [medical practice] for a living and who are real empaths. So I suppose I drew on – , from my mom a bit.
RACHEL MCADAMSI was kind of reading you know Judy Blume and stuff like that. But yeah, but I’ve since educated myself.
RACHEL MCADAMSI’ve sort of heard that “it” girl thing, but not really. Hearing it from a few people doesn’t solidify it in my mind and I wouldn’t know how to solidify that title. It’s so elusive and what does it mean, I don’t know?
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.
