Quotes from Rachel
“It was important to root it in something we could relate to and not just be this fantastical concept. Longing and waiting and separation — so many people are overcoming that every day. We kind of step away from the time travel of it all.”
-On The Time Traveler’s Wife (Canoe)
“I think Clare spends a lot of time in her head, and I’m definitely that person. I spend a lot of time in my mind daydreaming, which is why I am always late.”
-On her character Claire (USA Today)
Quotes from Cast & Crew
“Rachel’s someone who would survive outside of this business. She just blends with the traffic on the street. She’s someone from the real world and not at all affected by the industry.”
-Eric Bana, co-star (Vogue)
“Rachel is luminous. There’s an almost alchemical reaction between her face and the lens. She just glows and gives Clare an emotional vulnerability that made me believe that she’d go for this kind of thing with Henry.”
-Rob Schneider, director (USA Weekend)
“I don’t know what it is about Rachel. You can see it in The Notebook, you can see it in almost everything’s she’s in. Most men I know see it. It is unbelievably attractive. It is so alive, it just sucks you in.”
-Bruce Joel Rubin, screenplay writer (Canoe)

-Marshall Fine (Huffington Post)

-Betsy Sharkey (LA Times)
