~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
Food is my guilty pleasure.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
My life comes to a screeching halt when I'm not making movies. I really like to ride my bike around town, garden, cook, and play ultimate frisbee.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I'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 Mcadams Quote
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.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I don’t know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that’s not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
As strange as movie making is, doing love scenes for the first time with someone you’ve never even said hello to does work in terms of having a fresh quality to a relationship.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I am very fortunate to have some very smart people on my side, ... but ultimately I try to pick stuff that speaks to me, because [at the end of the day], I'm the one that has to make it.

~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I wanted to be a secretary, I love paper clips and staplers.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
Chris Rock once said something that was really interesting. He said, "Women would run the world if they didn't hate each other." That's the only thing preventing us from running this entire planet, that we hate each other!
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I suppose there is a little bit of a numbers game played in Hollywood, so of course the success of something like Wedding Crashers helps, but it's not something that you seek out, ... I didn't go into that movie hoping it would make a ton of money, but I did hope that it would hit an audience and people would really enjoy it.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
A friend of mine had this great theory about the Teletubbies (1997), that it’s preparing us for being mindless. And getting us ready for living in an underground world. When they build the underground world because we can no longer breathe the air that it will look like Teletubbie land.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I would love to have kids someday; I actually can’t imagine not having them. My parents have been married for 36 years. They [Lance, a mover, and Sandy, a nurse] have a pretty honest, straightforward relationship that I hope to have myself.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
For me, personally, it would be The Notebook. That was something I was dying to do when I read the script. I worked with so many amazing people, and people responded so well to that film, and continue to. In terms of an impact on my career, that was significant. Mean Girls speaks to a really large audience, which is the kids, and they eat that stuff up. I don't know. It's hard to choose.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I’ve been very lucky so far. I haven’t had any bad experiences as far as fan encounters. They don’t really recognize me. I think it has to do with my hair. I change it all the time. I like changing my hair color and sometimes it’s just not for a role. Usually, I just do it for me.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
Most of the time, people will just pass me by, or if they do realize, they’ll say something like, My girlfriend said that was you, but I didn’t believe her.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
The timing has worked out really nicely.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
Who do we think we're kidding? Guys love a good love story just as much as women. I can't tell you the number of guys who have come up to me to tell me that they cried during The Notebook. They had to get it off their chest! [They say] "I didn't go into it willingly, but I really loved it".
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I could die happy tomorrow.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I really pilled [make-up] on back in those days [I was a competitive figure skater]. You would be shocked and appalled.

~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
Paramount sent them nine-foot-high (theater lobby) cutouts of me. They say, You don’t have to come home, we’ve got you in every room of the house!
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I grew up in a small town, in a small house, with a raspberry bush in the backyard...I think one thing that kids who grow up on farms really have going for them is that they have an exposure to birth and death that is completely different. I think it takes away some of the mystery, some of the fear.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I go camping with the bears and the bugs up in northern Canada to maintain a normal life.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
A kiss with anyone, on or off camera, can be intimidating. Ive been kissing for nearly two decades now, and I'm always convinced I'm not doing it right.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
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!
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I actually love the audition process, so I'm so happy to fight for things. I would love to read something that I want to fight for, but lately the scripts are not that compelling.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I want to try a lot of things that I haven’t tried. You know, I did a thriller (Red Eye (2005)) 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.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
You know, I have some issues, ... But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale, you know?
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
If I hurt someone, if I were to accidentally poke someone’s eye out, I would laugh. And then I’d say, ‘I’m sorry, I really do feel bad,’ but then I’m on the floor rolling.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I would like to think I would rise to the occasion, but it's just interesting to me how powerful human beings can be when pushed to their limit and I really wanted to find it realistically that she could fight back, that she could take the skills she had learned just from being a hotel manager and turn them around and actually escape the situation.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
Timing can be everything in this town.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I've done some dry-walling in my lifetime and I'm never going to do it again. I'm going to hire someone to do that. Maybe I can give myself that luxury.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
The 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. And then ran into him and, Oh my God, you work here? I had no idea. It’s the most manipulative thing I’ve done in my entire life, but it all worked out very well, so I have no regrets.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.

Yeah. I still live in Canada, so it’s not quite the same. And when I’m in L.A., I’m in a car; you don’t have the contact with the public. It’s not so bad. It’s still pretty much the same. I still feel pretty normal-ish.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
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.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
I worked at McDonald's. I certainly got over my obsessive compulsive cleanliness problem there.

You never really know the person you’re sleeping beside. You have a right to your secrets, but that’s very difficult when you’re supposed to be someone’s partner.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
The most romantic thing, a lovely boy bought me a dress once. He got my measurements, actually they were from The Notebook (2004) and I had them sitting somewhere, and he found them and bought me this dress, tailor-made, this beautiful little black cocktail dress. And I thought that was very, very classy.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote

~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
It's really nice to have opportunities to do things that are so diverse. It's so easy when you start out, especially at a young age, to get pigeonholed into certain types of roles. So it's just been great to have that kind of variety available to me.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
But that confinement actually fed the fear and drove it a little bit because I was stuck on this plane for such a long period of time, so it kind of works.
~ Rachel Mcadams Quote
