The list of problems that we all experience may be endless, but I honestly cannot abide by the rule that, ‘He who yells louder is heard.’ – Rachel Nichols
I started dealing with weapons on the first show I ever did, ‘The Inside,’ but I didn’t really do any physical stuff until ‘Alias.’ – Rachel Nichols
It’s a confidence booster for me to be known as a female who can take on any action, which is nice, to have that reputation, because then people know that when they hire me, I can actually do the physical stuff. – Rachel Nichols
The thing I can’t figure out is why I have an undeniable compulsion to clean public spaces, airplane bathrooms, restaurant flatware, hotel gyms and Chapstick containers… yet I have no desire to make my own bed. Ever. Seriously, who made me, and where am I from? – Rachel Nichols
I never pile a plate to the point where it overflows. I’d rather have a small plate with small portions and then get up for more if I’m still hungry. – Rachel Nichols
Kudos to you for generating enough sweat that it actually drips off of your body – and all over the machine you are using at the time. If you sweat a lot, that’s fine, but wipe down the damn machine when you’re done… or I will confront you, and it will not be pretty. – Rachel Nichols
I love having wine with my meals. And if I splurge, I’m going to splurge big, because if I deny my cravings, it just ends up backfiring on me, you know? – Rachel Nichols
When you get to the point where you’re established enough that people link you with something, especially being an action hero babe, it’s awesome. Because then you can fight the battles and have the crossbows and wrestle with swords and ride the horses because you’re already believable; people see you in that genre. – Rachel Nichols
Lets talk about the holidays, more specifically, consumption during the holidays. If it’s true that ‘We are what we eat,’ most of us would be unrecognizable during the period that ranges from the night before Thanksgiving through that day in early January when everyone decides to return to the gym. – Rachel Nichols
I love the physicality side of roles, I really do, And when I get to do my own stunts, it’s that much cooler. I’ll do anything the production safety people will let me. – Rachel Nichols
There’s something about the darkness that I find unavoidably intoxicating. The knowledge that other people are sleeping and, therefore, unavailable to ruin my solitude, makes me more peaceful than I am during the day. – Rachel Nichols
History is fickle. We know that. The good and bad come around and go around, and go around again. There are recessions and depressions and economic boom and bust. – Rachel Nichols
Everything you’ve heard about Canadians apologizing profusely for things they shouldn’t be sorry about is absolutely true. It is both sweet, endearing and worrisome at the same time. Having someone apologize for no reason actually makes me feel as though I should apologize for their need to apologize. – Rachel Nichols
Don’t get me wrong, I love watching episodes of my favorite shows on Hulu and reading the daily trash on PageSix, but I also embrace the opportunity to settle down with a good book and let my mind travel to another place and time. – Rachel Nichols
I’ve always driven big SUVs. I’m from Maine, and there’s a point to driving a big SUV in Maine. I don’t really need a 4WD in L.A., but on the 405, people are crazy, and you need a tank. I like the visibility factor. – Rachel Nichols
My first modeling job in Paris, the photographer said, ‘Tue es belle,’ which means, ‘you are pretty,’ and I thought he said, ‘Tu es poubelle,’ which means, ‘you are the trash can.’ I burst into tears. He was not happy about that. – Rachel Nichols
Look, maybe I’m just not good at multi-tasking and am, therefore, jealous of those of you who can get in a workout while yammering on your cell phone, but for the love of all that is good and pure, shut your yap! – Rachel Nichols
What woman doesn’t want to go out there and kick some butt? I did it with a sword in ‘Conan,’ I did it with a crossbow in ‘G.I. Joe,’ and I’ve got my multi-tool and my super-suit in ‘Continuum.’ It’s really a release, and it’s quite cool. – Rachel Nichols
It doesn’t matter if you’re sad or hung-over or lazy or tired – a workout will get your endorphins pumping, and you’ll feel like a new person almost instantly. – Rachel Nichols
Who cares if your outfit is black and you’re sporting a brown belt? Wear it, rock it, love it – and others will, too. Nothing beats a belt. – Rachel Nichols
I don’t care what size you are or how old you are – once you see the results brought to you by regular exercise, you’ll wonder how you survived without it. – Rachel Nichols
You don’t want me to sing. I could do a really bad karaoke scene, if I had to, but I’d probably choose to rap. – Rachel Nichols
I love dessert. All kinds. But there’s something about ice cream that makes me happy. I am drawn to its simplicity. I am perplexed by the endless supply of constantly growing flavor options. And I am always in the mood for sprinkles and a sugar cone. – Rachel Nichols
Um… Bulgaria is an interesting country. The people are lovely. There are potholes the size of small planets. – Rachel Nichols
One of the great things about the sci-fi genre is that you can kind of get away with a bit more when talking politics, making social references or dealing with very hot-button topics because it is sci-fi. – Rachel Nichols
I think that being read to every night is the reason why I was plowing through volume after volume of ‘Nancy Drew’ books all by myself by the time I reached the first grade. I loved stories. I loved the escape. I had a vivid imagination. – Rachel Nichols
I love to vacuum. There’s just something so satisfying about hearing detritus sucked up into a vacuum. Sand makes such a great sound when being vacuumed off a hardwood floor. – Rachel Nichols
