MIA GOTH

When I finish a film, I want to feel drained. I want to feel like I couldn't have possibly done any more to service a character and a story.

A magician pulls a rabbit from a hat, and actors pull truth from fiction.

So often, in films, there are two ways a female can be portrayed: either innocent and virginal or the complete opposite.

I like to run. I think it's good, you can do it anywhere, you don't a gym, I just think it's really easy to do.

I'm all for art-house foreign directors - I think they make terrific films - and I'm also for the bigger budget movies. It just depends on what the character is, the director, the script.

A lot of people get pigeonholed because it makes it easier to understand them - or assume you understand them. I think the way you break away from that is by constantly doing different jobs.

I love working with Prada, I would do it all the time if I could. Working with them is like working on a film: it is very collaborative.

I've never seen the two 'Ghostbuster' movies.

I'll take a multi-vitamin in the morning. I think that always helps.

The fashion world has become a lot more embracing of me since I became an actress.

I'm interested in psychology and how your surroundings can influence your character, and because of that, I think I try and take the very best from a situation, good or bad, and constantly work on myself.

I'm drawn to roles where someone has to struggle or fight.

For the most part, I don't do anything to my brows. They aren't bleached, just naturally light. Maybe when I was a little kid, I thought they were strange, but I realized as I got older, the things that make you different are the things that are special about you.

I want to seem completely bare. Especially when I'm reading for a role. I want to reveal myself in the audition room. That's where I'm happiest.

I don't think optimism is always the best quality for an actor, in the same way you wouldn't want a super-optimist to be a traffic controller - you want a guy that's really worried about every plane in the sky!

I was a massive fan of Amy Winehouse growing up. I decided it would be a good idea to become Amy Winehouse with the beehive and ballet shoes. Six months into that, I looked into the mirror and decided I'd better be Mia.

I'm always super scared of feeling like a fake.

I am obsessed with cinema and its history.

My only goal is to be the best actress I can be. You have to give it everything. All I have as an actress is the revelation of my soul.

I just want to act. And I want to be good. And I want to be happy, and I think that's it.

I want to be a woman who has a little bit more figured out, who doesn't have so many doubts.

My first memories are of Brazil. There's so much music there. It's one of my favourite places in the world.

There's a lot of power and responsibility that comes with owning who you are as a woman.

I think it's important to change your hair up once in a while - not to always remain the same.

Life, and the world, sometimes just kinda click, and things just happen. You're chasing it, but it finds you at the same time.
