My grandma passed away from cancer, and actually, when I was 18, I had an experience with melanoma - it's in the family. I had that experience where everything comes into perspective. It's the weirdest thing, 'cause you're like, 'It will never happen to me,' and when it does, it's like, 'OK, wow.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I grew up in the indie world, and that's what I'm used to, but there's something really incredible about having money behind a film and having the time to do as many takes as you want.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
You learn so much on set; I don't know if you learn as much anywhere else as you do when you're on set, working.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
For me, I grew up doing kiteboarding where no girls are doing it, and you had to prove yourself. You just had to know that you could do it, too. It's the mentality you had to have to make it. I work hard like anyone else.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I think, specifically with the horror genre, you have to make it very believable because it can come across ridiculous.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
They have so many great horror movies made in the '80s. I mean, the old-school horror is so good.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
For me, it's first about the characters. I look for a character who is intriguing and challenging and different from what I've done before.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
There's a lot of garbage, and then there are those ones that just stand out so incredibly. You fight for those roles; you do everything in your power to get it.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Cheerleader roles are really not my thing. I want things that are weird or not typical.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I have a weird thing with knives. I don't like knives very much. Like when my parents are cooking in the kitchen and using knives to chop vegetables, I can't be in the same room. For whatever reason, knives just terrify me.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
You go to see movies to feel something, and being terrified - there's something so fun about that.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
If you've got people around you that are like, 'Oh, you're so good,' this and that, it becomes unhealthy. My friends are like, 'You look like a doofus.' I'm like, 'Thank you. Thank you for that.' It keeps me grounded.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
All my Dominican friends live in an area called Los Venaga. Their houses are shacks. They'd invite us over to dinner, and we'd sit in plastic chairs on the dirt inside a house.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
What I love about my job is challenging myself and finding weird, different roles.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Cape Town, South Africa, was pretty incredible. That's probably the coolest place I have ever been, and the kiteboarding is insane there. It's so windy, so you can get massive air.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
At about 17, I decided I wanted to take kiteboarding seriously and compete, so my agents were like, 'Just keep sending in a few audition tapes anyway, just for good stuff.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
My dad taught me to kiteboard when I was 13, and around the same time, I happened to just fall into being an extra on a set and fell in love with acting and making movies.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Signing up for 'It Follows,' I didn't have any idea it was going to turn out the way it did, but seeing it, the music and the feel of it definitely was pretty amazing, getting that kind of throwback feel to classic horror movies.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I grew up such a horror fan, it's kinda cool being named 'Scream Queen.' I like that.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Do stuff that scares you on a regular basis. I think it's good for the body and for the mind.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I have a rule now that I can only watch a movie twice. By the third time I was watching 'The Guest,' I was hating everything about it, but the first time, I loved it. The first time you watch it, you watch it as a whole. And the second time, I think you can learn a lot. By the third time, you are just picking everything apart.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I guess becoming an adult and learning how to survive on your own is exciting.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I have to say, working with Dan Stevens in 'The Guest' and seeing his transformation was incredible. Also Kate Winslet. Off set, she's loud and sweary, but when she walks on set, she has this calmness and is so centred.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Before acting took off, I was a professional kiteboarder training for the world circuit; with a sporting activity, you have to be determined, and it taught me to have a thick skin, which came in use after going to so many auditions and being told 'no.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Horror movies can be - I don't wanna say not real, but so over-the-top: you can get scared 'cos things are loud and in-your-face, but these are real emotions that I'm using.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I've cracked my head open before; I've had some great injuries. So I have to do it on the side now. I cracked my head open kiting before a competition in New Caledonia. The water was shallow, and I missed a trick and hit my head on a rock.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I have my own past and my own personality. I'm going to relate to the material in a completely different way than somebody else might.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I fell in love with the whole process of making a movie. I loved the sets. I loved watching the actors and the crew.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
It fell into my lap. I grew up doing dance classes. And one day, a film production company contacted my dance school looking for background dancers. I wasn't looking for it. It just happened. And I found myself on set. And that was that.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I grew up watching horror movies with my dad. For as long as I can remember. I grew up loving being terrified. 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' at sleepovers. Hiding behind my fingers.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I'd really love to work with Quentin Tarantino. There's so many people that I'd love to work with, but there's something about Quentin, and one of my all-time favorite films is 'Kill Bill.' Something along those lines would be such a blast.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
If I met Jack Nicholson, I would probably get a little flustered. Not going to lie. I've watched his movies since I was so young. Such a fan.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
My dad took me to see James Brown live, and that's so cool, cause I don't think many people my age can say they saw James Brown. I'm pretty proud of that. That's the thing about me that no one really knows. I had to have been 6 or 7, but I remember it vividly.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I don't look at myself as a Scream Queen, and I don't plan on continuing on this genre route. If anything, I want to go very different places.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I've seen so many scripts, and I want to do everything. Like with kiteboarding, you have to be fearless. I'm not scared.
