Quotes By Rachel
"I play the daughter of Alan Rickman, so that was a really cool experience. I play Laure the daughter of Antoine Richis, and she’s really vivacious and bubbly. She’s like a butterfly, flitting about." - Pretty-Scary.net
"They dyed my hair this bright red color [...] It was really fun, and then afterwards, they tried really hard to get the color out as much as possible, but it still remained ginger for a while afterwards." - Pretty-Scary.net
"I loved the color they dyed it originally. It was really deep red, but then it kind of clashed with my school uniform, which is maroon. I wanted to get my hair cut and just change from the red and everything, because my own hair's brown, so when it started to grow out, it looked gross. So they took as much of the color out as possible, but it remained slightly ginger, which I wasn't too pleased about, but I dealt with it." - Radiofree.com
[When asked if wearing corsets was a problem] "No! I don't know what people are crying about. It was in the south of France and Spain in these really extravagant costumes, but I loved it because it was just a real experience. And I didn't really find it too bad. You know, you have to get used to it. Especially around lunch time, it sucked because they untie it, but you know you've got to get back into the corset. If you eat too much, it's like [groans]." - Radiofree.com
