Rebel Wilson

I’m from the ghetto side of Sydney. We don’t really do drive-bys, we just do drive-thrus.

I was planning to go into law or politics. I was well known for my public speaking. I went to an all-girl boarding school with uniforms. It was very posh for someone like me who came from a world where my parents showed beagles and sold dog products out of a yellow caravan.

I am looking for a man I couldn’t beat in a cage fight.

Welcome to the MTV Movie Awards I am a bit surprised they asked me to host… and so was MTV. They thought I was Adele.

If you’re wondering why I was only nominated for three of the categories tonight, it’s because I don’t swallow.

I think I appear very innocent and soft, but I’m actually very dark and edgy. It’s a weird dichotomy.

Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?

I have to say, I’m really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date.

If you’re an actor and you don’t get cast in stuff a lot, then put together a show or hold play-reading nights at your apartment. Make your own opportunities.

I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.

Working for me is like a gift!

I’ve always learned how to deal with my problems through my words, through my education, and through my intelligence, which I think is important and the best way to deal with an issue.

I was thinking about why I make movies, and I know why. Life is hard. It’s nice to go escape and have a good time at the movies. If I can give people a movie about hope, love and the future, then I’ve done my job.

It’s nice to be important, but it’s important to always be nice.

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

(On his feud with rapper Ja Rule) Right now he’s desperate. He should be talking about me, not Eminem and (Dr. Dre) and everybody else. He’ll lose, he knows that. The route that he has to take is the “I’m a mad gangsta” hardcore route, and ain’t nobody gonna believe him.

Last year I couldn’t even have a date,but now it seems that girls have changed their opinion about me.

Obviously, as an adult I realize this girl-on-girl sabotage is the third worst kind of female behavior, right behind saying “like” all the time and leaving your baby in a dumpster.

I don’t enjoy any kind of danger or volatility. I don’t have that kind of ‘I love the bad guys’ thing. No, no thank you. I like nice people.

A song is a song, you know? First of all comes a song, second of all comes the way it’s promoted … where you place it and what happens to it and how it gets streamed and all that sort of thing is in the lap of the gods, and maybe artists in the end just take a back seat and let it roll.

I don’t know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.
