Rachel McAdams

You know when you find a great dress, you’ve gotta hold on to it.

I did (training in) tennis, ballet, swing dancing, piano, art class and etiquette. I also did French dialect, but then it was mixing me up with my Southern dialect, so we stuck to Southern!

[on the “The Notebook” script] I’m a sucker for those sweeping love stories. When I read the script, I couldn’t stop crying! I just had such a powerful, instantaneous reaction – it was written so well.

I guess each relationship is different. That’s what I love about relationships. Even when they end, you’ve learned so very much, so much to take into your next relationship and to take into your life. It’s the greatest thing that comes out of an ending – so it depends on the person.

It takes a lot of time, commitment and a choice. I’ve chosen this path, but it’s not to say I’m not open to love or whatever comes my way. You never close doors.

[on filming Red Eye] I loved the action sequences, running though an airport in heels and all that stuff. That was really fun.

I try to just be grateful for what I have, and not [focus on] the things that I don’t have.

I want to try a lot of things that I haven’t tried. You know, I did a thriller (Red Eye) after this, because it was so different and it was a genre I hadn’t worked in yet. Then I did a beautiful family ensemble drama. And next? I don’t know. I might go off to do a small independent in New York. I’m not sure. The quality of material is important but, basically, I’m open to anything. I like to stay open to anything.

When was the last time you saw a musical about people at war with each other?

Sometimes people expect that I’m going to be tough. It’s not a bad situation. People treat you better. People are on time.

Show No Love , Cus Love Can Get U killed

It’s a sport to me. I never want to get too complacent with my writing or my flow.

I’m a restless guy who’s happy to be restless. I find that I’m always inquiring and I’m always in the middle of new situations. It’s just life experience, I guess. But I’ve been around quite a while.

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

Comedy is acting out optimism.

Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party.

Cocaine is God’s way of saying that you’re making too much money.

I’ve only met Brad Pitt once before. Well, I didn’t really meet him. I kind of just stood behind him and smelled his hair. It smelled really good.

I couldn’t have asked for a better target than Trump

I’m off everything apart from the fags and the coffee. I don’t know if it’s worked. It works up until you take your first drink.

I was looking at Jane Fonda last night. And you know why she always looks great? Because there was never a point where you say, ‘Hey, remember those two years when Fonda got fat?’ It never happened. You just have to keep that baseline. That goddamn baseline.
