Michelle Rodriguez Talks Avatar, James Cameron, and Pooping

Oh, Michelle Rodriguez. Will you ever stop being so incorrigible? Hopefully not, because what fun would that be? During a press junket for “The Fast and Furious 4″, Michelle Rodriguez was asked about “Avatar” by the boys at MoviesOnline.ca, and she took the opportunity to gush about James Cameron, “Avatar’s” techology, and something about … pooping?

About James Cameron:

That guy is so amazing. He thinks in 12 dimensions at all times. That’s what I love about him. You could sit there and you could talk for hours about the advancements in molecular science or you could sit there and you can talk about mythology and story building, character building. You could talk about cameras, the history of film, the history of Russia. You could talk about flying to another planet. You could talk about space research. You could talk about underwater adventures. You could talk about how he constructed special technology for underwater adventures. Or you could sit there and talk to him about how he developed his own fricking cameras with his brother. I mean, like, this guy is a genius.

Wow. 12 dimensions all the time? I can only manage 5 myself.

On the technology being used on “Avatar”:

So, you’re working with a golf ball or you’re working with an “X” on a green wall and you’re just hoping that you’ve really hit your mark interacting with this. You’re just kind of trying to remember as much of your make-believe time at the age of 5 as you possibly could to get you through it. But, with this technology that he’s got, you just go there and you see what you’re interacting with right there because it’s a mixture of live 3D footage, the props on the set, and the virtual world that he spent God knows how long creating. It’s fucking amazing. It’s hardcore. I can’t even imagine anything bigger.

On the, er, other thing:

I’d serve James Cameron coffee every day for four years and I would consider that college. I don’t give a rat’s ass how people receive whatever we did. I am just incredibly honored to have been seen by him and for him to like keep me in mind for a project that he’s had for the last, what, eight years? To call me up and say, “Hey, I want you to be a part of this,” no matter what anybody says, because everybody was talking so much schmack about me, and it’s so hard to get a job when all these people are talking shit about you in the press, just because you’re growing up. You know, I used to poop in my pants too, and I learned how to use the bathroom eventually.

Oh, Michelle, don’t ever change, babe.

By the way, Michelle plays a pilot in the movie.
