Quotes
“I relate to characters that are inherently broken.”
“It’s great to be able to say that I’ve enjoyed every project I’ve been involved in so far. I feel extremely lucky. […] I love playing female characters that can stand on their own within a project, as opposed to only acting as a support for the male narrative.”
“I’m such a perfectionist when it comes to prepping for jobs. I need to feel prepared when going into a project. I spend so much time with the script and getting to know my character. With this project, none of that was possible. I had to be okay with not having any control and just trusting the process and the brilliant minds in the room with me.”
“This is one of the things I love about my job. You can be in LA one morning and in Canada the next day.”
“I don’t ever need to typecast myself, and I can play all these different roles. While I was in school, I had so many teachers tell us that we need to pigeonhole ourselves into something, and that always bothered me because I knew that I wanted to do so many different types of roles and different genres—everything from TV to animation.”
“I got really into acting when I started watching Shirley Temple at a young age. I was obsessed with her. I looked like her, and I wanted to be her so I put myself in tap classes and voice, and that opened the door for me.”
“I jumped into the local theater program and started doing shows from the age of 10. Theater was always my bread and butter. I love being on stage, and that’s ultimately what I went to college for.”
“Each one of them are strong in their own ways, whether it’s the villain of Gotham, or Honeymaren standing up for what’s right in Northuldra, or Fiona trying to support another woman in a time of need. It’s such a dream that I can look at all these projects right now and see how different they all are.”
Rachel Matthews might come from a family full of actresses and actors. However, she has managed to make her name peak in popularity with her own effort, talents, and hard work.
