Rachel Weisz Filmography

• "I found myself a sophisticated, educated American. He's not an actor. He's travelled the world. He knows where Europe is, unlike a lot of Americans. He's very cultured, but he's all man."
• "You just have to play every scene honestly and forget about a reaction and what the audience is going to think. I think the more seriously you take something, the more funny it might be."
• "There's nothing I would do if I didn't act. I've only ever wanted to make films and now I am. So, right now, I'm sorry to say, I'm very satisfied. It's gross, isn't it?"
• "I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans."
• "I find Hollywood really toxic."
• "I love the people, the food and the style of living in Italy. I think Italians are the most humans."

• Critics' Circle Best Newcomer Award
• Edinburgh Festival: student drama award (1991)
