People ask me all the time what it is about Australia that produces so many big stars. Honestly, I believe it is a combination of things. Our education standards are quite high, but our industry is very limited. Yet we're very aware of the industry - everyone goes to the theater, sees TV shows.

Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.

'Everything happens for a reason' is something that we have to tell ourselves all the time, because it's good to have the idea that something good is around the corner.

Margot Robbie

Time Good Very

Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.

Margot Robbie

Work Years Year

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.

Margot Robbie

Life Anger Yourself

There's nothing I dislike more than being in a photo shoot where they say, 'Be yourself.' That's not why I became an actress. That's what I find so funny: that you become an actor, and all of a sudden, everyone wants to know about you. But I didn't become an actor so I could show you me.

Margot Robbie

Funny Yourself Yours

To do all your own stunts, you have to be so strong.

Margot Robbie

Your You UN

It's always good to have a story arch.

Margot Robbie

Good Ways Way

If people are talking about me, I want it to be because of the work I'm doing and not the person I'm seeing.

Margot Robbie

Work Want Use

I was absolutely obsessed with the Titanic - not the film, the actual boat. I'd draw diagrams about it and theorise that if it was built in a different way, it wouldn't have sunk.

Margot Robbie

Would Wit Way

People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points. That's how people steal effectively.

Margot Robbie

Work Works Way

If you've worked in Australia, you can't get away with bad behaviour like showing up late. We take our work ethic very seriously.

Margot Robbie

Work You Worked

'Wolf of Wall Street' opened up a lot of doors for me. It was such a massive opportunity, which provided me with only more opportunities.

Margot Robbie

Wolf Wit Which

I have an irrational fear that I'm going to have a gruesome and untimely death because so many wonderful things are happening to me.

Margot Robbie

Time Fear Death

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.

Margot Robbie

Wit Ways Way

I live with three boys, and I can't tell you how hard it is to get your hands on toilet paper. They steal it.

Margot Robbie

Your You Wit

My jet lag is getting a bit ridiculous. But, you know, it's first-world problems. It's a wonderful problem, 'Oh I have to travel around the world; how awful.'

Margot Robbie

Travel You World

I'm a bit of a tomboy.

Margot Robbie

Tomboy Tomb Tom

Any time I have any time off, I try to travel.

Margot Robbie

Travel Time Try

It's not about being rich, but everyone back home has a pool. And I was a total water baby. My mom couldn't get me out - she'd put my dinner plate at the end of the pool, and I'd eat my meals in the water.

Margot Robbie

Mom Home Water

That's precisely what we do as actors: try to convince the audience we are somebody else. And if you can do that, you are really doing something.

Margot Robbie

You Try Thing

If someone's gonna pick between me and Emma Stone, they're gonna pick Emma Stone.

Margot Robbie

It irritates me so much the way people talk about soaps because it is far more difficult working on a soap than it is on a big studio film.

Margot Robbie

People ask me all the time what it is about Australia that produces so many big stars. Honestly, I believe it is a combination of things. Our education standards are quite high, but our industry is very limited. Yet we're very aware of the industry - everyone goes to the theater, sees TV shows.

Margot Robbie

You don't leave Australia unless you are passionate. Any Australian actor who comes to America is really committed. There are no dabblers - it's all or nothing.

Margot Robbie

My mother's family raised grains and crops. My father's grew sugarcane and mangos. So I knew more about the basics of farming than of acting.

Margot Robbie

No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.

Margot Robbie

I'm not a massive 'Star Trek' fan.

Margot Robbie

I started working on a TV show in Australia, straight out of high school, so I missed the whole university experience.

Margot Robbie

Every time I see a piano, I have this urge to play it.

Margot Robbie

People ask me, 'How do you remember your lines?' That's nothing. That is the least of my concerns.

Margot Robbie

Where I'm from on the Gold Coast, we say that there are a lot of 'cashed-up Bogans,' you know, people with no class but a lot of money.

Margot 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.

Margot Robbie

You should have seen me at 14, with braces and glasses, gangly and doing ballet!

Margot Robbie

All your mannerisms change easily when you have inch-long acrylic nails.

Margot Robbie

If I looked good in 'Wolf of Wall Street,' I cannot take full credit; it was because of the hair extensions and makeup.

Margot Robbie

It's just terrible: I miss flights all the time, more than I probably catch one.

Margot Robbie

Everyone's set the bar really high and expects me to be brilliant.

Margot Robbie

New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It's amazing.

Margot Robbie

I think, at the end of the day, age is just a number. It's like, in real life, I've got friends who are dating someone their age or dating someone who's twice their age, and they're equally in love.

Margot Robbie

I am unobservant.

Margot Robbie

I say this about everything: when I was on 'Neighbours,' I said, 'These are the best years of my life!' When I was filming 'The Wolf Of Wall Street,' I said, 'These are the best months of my life!' I always think I'm having the best time ever, and that I'll never have so much fun again.

Margot Robbie

I won't take parts where the female character has no substance.

Margot Robbie

I just try to keep healthy more so than trying to be thin.

Margot Robbie

It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

Margot 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. That's not living.

Margot Robbie

Chemistry is so important and so unpredictable. Sometimes you get in a room with someone where aesthetically you make perfect sense as a couple, and then you read, and you're both kind of sitting there like, 'This isn't working for some strange reason; it just doesn't really pop.'

Margot Robbie

I've worked everywhere. I worked in a warehouse packing surf supplies, a restaurant washing dishes, in retail, and I was a 'sandwich artist' at Subway.

Margot Robbie

I have many moments of self doubt. Everybody does.

Margot Robbie

I learned a lot about pain and suffering during 'Pan Am.' We had to wear very constricting period-correct girdles and bras. After that, I learned to read a script with an eye toward the undergarments.

Margot 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!
