Robbie: "I’m always most critical of myself, for sure. And I’m a perfectionist."
Robbie: "I really believe that you determine your own destiny. That said, I don't know how I would describe myself. Ever since I was little, my mum has always described me as determined and independent."
Robbie: “I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me.”
Robbie: "I have a real aversion to being put in a box. The minute someone sums me up in two words.. I want to show them I'm the exact opposite... As soon as you have some success in one type of role, people want you to keep doing that thing. Which I think would just be... boring.!"
Robbie: “I am unobservant, I walk around and I am looking up at the sky and my bag is open, so I have been robbed a couple of times.”
Robbie: "I had big dreams already at 20. I wanted to see the world and go on an adventure."
Robbie: "Everyone I work with is very like-minded, and we don’t leave any stones left unturned. We really explore every single option before making any decision. And I like working that way, so it’s great that my producing partners also do."
Robbie: "Personally, I love beautiful things but I'm also pragmatic: I look for freedom of movement.."
Robbie: "I think they've finally realized that women go to see movies as much as men do. Ticket sales are coming from them as well, so why not appeal to them? I think they're finding a way."
Robbie: "People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points."
Robbie: “As much as I'd only like to concentrate on the creative side of acting, the whole business in general is just that - a business - and you have to do your homework if you want to be successful.”
Robbie: "Experience is the path that leads us to understanding."
Robbie: "I was searching for different ways of taking control of my life, to get where I wanted to be... I like exercising that business savvy part of my brain."
Robbie: "I'm not good at waiting. If I want something, I can never just sit there... I have to make it happen."
Robbie: "There are things in life that don't come to me naturally, and social media and the Internet and all those things are some of them, somewhere between taxes and cooking!"
Robbie: "I'm a bit of a tomboy."
Robbie: "Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work."
Robbie: "I really want to do a Western. I want to be the dude who is riding horses and doing exciting things - something where I get to do something physical and have to train for it. I don't want to be the damsel."
Robbie: “I'm not extravagant. I share my house in London with five roommates. I take the Tube. I intend to stay the exact same person I always was.”
Robbie: "Scent has become a way for me to differentiate characters."
Robbie: "I had a couple of years where I had black hair and I only cut it with a razor blade, and I’d only wear, like, things with skulls on it or my band t-shirts. I went through the emo phase."
Robbie: "Being married sounds really boring... I might bite the bullet in my late thirties and see how it goes."
Robbie: "I kind of left everyone behind in Australia - all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend."
Robbie: “I'd rather trust nine people and have the 10th one stab me in the back. I'd take that fall in order to have those nine friendships or working relationships instead of having none.”
Robbie: "Time allows us to grow, evolve, create, learn, change, heal, forgive, love - it allows us to live."
Robbie: "I feel I share with Gabrielle Chanel ideas about breaking the norm, creating and seeing beauty in chaos. It's completely liberating: the world becomes your oyster. Someone is always going to break the rules; it might as well be you."
Robbie: "I was very business-savvy as a child."
Robbie: "Technology still freaks me out a bit."
Robbie: “When I eat, I have to chop up everything on the plate and stir it all together. It devastates my mom. Everyone at the table is like, 'That looks like cat vomit.' And I stir my Coke with a spoon until it's flat.”
Robbie: "I always dress kind of monochromatic and very simple and all that kind of stuff."
Robbie: “Being irrational and out of control is what happens in real life. Not cautiously choreographing your anger or your emotions, losing yourself in them is what happens in real life.”
Robbie: "Once people see you pulling off one role, they think you're a safe bet to do a similar role."
Robbie: “I try to remind myself that all of this could be over tomorrow, because I could wake up and magically be 35 feet tall and not be able to act in movies anymore.”
Robbie: "Someone told me that you could learn to sing, and that there are muscles that if you build, you will sing."
Robbie: "So many of my friends are older, and the people I work with are older. I guess I've gotten used to hearing people say, 'Oh, you're so young,' even though I never really agreed with that. Now I get their perspective."
Robbie: “It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!”
Robbie: "When you look at movies, the lead girl is always gorgeous and thin. There is a stereotype that you need to look a certain way and when you get in the business you really feel the pressure."
Robbie: "I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I'm staying at a friend's house or something. I'm very old school."
Robbie: "Growing up I never had a perfume. I was like oh, one day when I'm grownup and have money I'm going to wear perfume. I had one perfume and I would save it for really, really, really special occasions. Which meant I never actually wore it. So now it's one of those things like, I can wear perfume everyday. I can afford to buy another one, I'm really lucky that I can. Now when I have nice stuff I don't save it anymore, I try to use it."
Robbie: "I remember specific times and people in my life so much more clearly if I smell something that brings me back to them."
Robbie: "You need to shower at the end of the day."
Robbie: "I feel like I'm pretty good at doing my own makeup. I've watched a lot of people do my makeup, so I've been able to gauge what looks good and what doesn't."
Robbie: "I know that my look is more 'toothpaste model' as opposed to artsy, which sucks because I can play those roles."
Robbie: "Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy."
