Why Margot Robbie Initially Wanted To Turn Down ‘Mary Queen Of Scots’ Role | Sunday TODAY
Like no one else—that’s what Margot Robbie’s like. You’re asked this question a lot about actors—"What’s she like?“—and I’ve never been able to give an answer I’m happy with. With Margot, you can recall some classic precedents: the comedic genius of Carole Lombard, for her all-bets-off feistiness; Joan Crawford, for her grounded, hardscrabble toughness; Ida Lupino, for her emotional daring. Margot has all this in addition to a unique audacity that surprises and challenges and just burns like a brand into every character she plays. […] Margot is stunning in all she is and all she does, and she will astonish us forever. — Martin Scorsese
It is a weird thing, having a profile, It is hard because I would never have got to this position if I was trying to censor everything I did. I would never have an impact on anyone if I played perfect characters.
I still get that thrill; I guess it’s like escapism at its finest. On the acting side, my favourite thing is when I truly lose myself in a scene, when I forget that I’m on a set. It’s only truly happened a few times in my whole career, where I’ve genuinely forgotten I was on a set, forgotten that I’m not that character, forgot that it wasn’t that time, or that place. That’s the best feeling in the world. Better than skydiving; it’s like the most exhilarating thing to experience.
Happy 28th birthday, Margot Robbie! (July 2, 1990)
