In Response to The Enigma (Mildred) :
1.) Beauty regimen for day and night is pretty much wash face from germs and throw on some VALMONT Regenera 1 cream.

2.) Make- Up I cover my blemishes when I go out on the town with some tea tree oil to disinfect and then I'll put on an oil free cover up. Under the eyes if I didn't sleep. A little lip stain on the cheeks (if I've neglected my weekly vitamin intake) for a fresh complexion, a little mascara for the eyelids, but that sums it up.
3.) Must-have beauty product; my moisturizer. I care more about my skin and its maintenance than I do covering it up.

4.) I'm not much of a beauty queen but I do believe the advice worth giving is maintaining a healthy lifestyle, because skin and body issue are usually a representation of bodily imbalances.

5.) The best advice I've ever received was from my brother: 'never give a stranger an excuse to tell you what to do."

Response to Tommy

1.) Favorite film ever worked on:
I like some movies for different reasons but as far as a favorite I would have to say girl-fight, simply because I really felt through the whole experience it felt genuine, and 'Battle in Seattle' which I just finished promoting at the Sarasota film festival comes in a close second. I personally derive more satisfaction from being a part of an important seeming message than I do having incredible amounts of fun in Hollywood action flicks. 'Avatar' was insanely amazing and I must admit tops all the movies I've ever done on all fields but I have yet to see the finished product.

Response to Azreal
1.) As far as being your prom date in June, I am intrigued by the offer but I'll be in Italy writing for a month in June, don't think I could make it. I'm sure you'll find a hot date for prom anyway.

Response to Anonymous;
1.) Advice for fellow soul sister on acting:
The only advice I could give about acting is: "Own what you become with everything that makes you human". I personally haven't been in this industry long enough to pass judgment on acting classes, techniques, styles, or tactics, But what I've learned from my little eight years in the business is If I don't believe it when I'm doing it, being it, or living it, neither will those that are witnessing it.

Response to Theresa;
1.) Always want to Act? Actually I've always wanted to write, I became an actress by fluke. I did extra work in New York for two years after quitting one of those cheesy get a degree in six months business schools. I guess I wanted to see what film, movies, and the business was like overall. After two years of seeing loads of talent getting treated like shit in the pyramid game of production, I made a decision. The only way to penetrate the game as a writer is to become an actor. They were the only players that were treated somewhat fairly in the pyramid game of production, or so I thought then. I went on my first audition off an Add in backstage magazine, (add for movie girl-fight) and got it. 8 years later addicted to being used as a tool of communication by directors I'm sharpening my gathered information for phase two, writing and producing.
2.) Favorite movie scene? The scene I just shot for Fast And Furious 4, haven't had action like that in a while, can't really detail anything but man that was fun. Avatar was really fun to shoot can't talk about that either. I guess out scenes you probably saw or can see, would be a flick I did like eight years ago, called three a.m. my second film ever, I was a taxi driver with late night shift and I was eating Chinese food from this dump in New York, I open my rice box and a massive roach was in the box. I thought that was classic.

Response to Bekki
1.) What character type would I love to play? I'd like to see a kick ass believable action-packed character come to life, one that doesn't get captured so a guy can save her, one who doesn't get raped as a motivation for her adventure. A girl that owns herself, answers to no one but herself, and gets to jump out of windows, fly planes, race cars, and have a crew of kick ass friends that she actually gets along with instead of fight against over some guy. In short I'd like to be in an action flick where my character isn't compromised morally, sexually, or intellectually. A character I can actually like and admire completely instead of partially like most.

Response to Alex;
1.) After the latest trials and tribulations what clicked to turn everything around? I woke up one day stopped bitching about why things happen, stopped blaming, and pointing. I just came to a realization that I created my own environment, whether it was a hole I dug for myself, or a realm full of possibilities. I woke up one day to own my life, with all its quirks and perks. I guess, I ride my life better than I ride a board or a horse, cause so far I haven't really fallen off. If there's anything I'm good at its untangling knots. I just take my time is all.

Response to millie:
1.) Do you still skydive what's the feeling? I haven't gone out in almost a year, and I have to say I'm addicted to the feeling. I guess for me the feeling began with complete terror and once I realized I was out of the plane and no longer had the comfort of ground, that's when the Adrenagasm began. I feel like a bird an angel anything but human when I'm up there. Its nothing like looking out the window of a plane, I'm flying a hundred twenty (depending on my bodies posture) and I don't have a massive chunk of metal facilitating the flight (plane, car, contraption), I'm free, yet incarcerated at the same time by the laws of gravity. Which by the way, I haven't felt as intensely, ever, more so than during a 60 to 90 second free-fall. I get to see the world in three d from a bird's eye to an awe eyed perspective. I can't think of a better ride yet I haven't done paraglide trip yet.

Response to Kritsin:
1.) Do you dance? I loved to dance, as far as anything controlled or choreographed, not really my kind of deal. For years though as a kid I would go over to my aunts house in Puerto Rico for summer vacation, and she would set up all of these wonderful party events and celebrations for the otherwise boring church group members. Anniversary parties, festivals, and feasts. She would go all out and set up shows with all these 80's & 90's pop band songs from 'Menudo' to Michael Jackson tracks. I was very young and she rarely let me be actual part of the show, but I learned all the moves anyway. Since then I became obsessed with movement and I began my journey with music, and dance. I would go to music conferences, and eventually house parties all over Europe, south Africa, New York, Miami, Germany, south of France, etc. Moving my body makes me feel free. With that world of dance there is a whole other more prominent culture that overshadows that of dance and vibration addiction, and that's the world of Alcoholics, gold diggers, drug addicts, 'socialites & parasites', as I like to call them. I guess when you do what I do for a living (actress not celebrity), you can't be around that world because then people think you are that world. So now I'm learning how to DJ, it will take a couple of years and I won't get to dance as much but I still get crowd energy and good music. House parties are where I still get to release and free my dancing soul for the most part.
2.) Do you write? Not as much as I should, but I'm reaching a point where If I don't release some of these stories imbedded in my brain since adolescence at some point the next two years, I have a strong belief that my head is going to explode.

Write now... one day you'll be 41 and all that amazing shit you have lived will start to fade. No one will believe that you actually lived it because the real details start to fade no matter how much your mind tries to relive the moments and events.... or maybe it is just me and my mind is fading by lifes numbing trials and tribulations?
Peace Out Freebird!

Michelle, I posted this on your official website, but I wasn't sure where to put it so that you would see it. So if you saw it already, I'm sorry for making you read it twice, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to speak with you (so to speak....erg, "communicate").


Thanks for opening yourself up to questions Michelle, I imagine you're pretty busy and I have several questions, but first I actually wanted to answer one of yours.


A couple months back you did that Merrillwood interview, I had several questions posted and one was about your movie "A Cat's Tale". Of course, nobody made it past the question without laughing at my name "Pitdroid", and you asked why I picked that name. Well, it's part Star Wars reference, part rip on my mom for loving Nascar (I can't stand it). In the "Phantom Menace" movie, there is a race scene, and there's these little droids called pitdroids who are like pitcrewman, and they fix all the podracers. One of them gets sucked into an engine, but exits out the other end miraculously unharmed to the amusement of all. So that's me in a nutshell, I keep coming back after things knock me down and I'm occasionally funny.


1. How do you pronounce your first name "Mayte", there's been some debate about this and a gringo like me just can't figure it out on his own.


2. In that interview months back, my actual question (though your comments had me laughing pretty f-ing hard) was about your movie "A Cat's Tale", where is this movie? Nobody seems to know what's happened with it.


3. My other question that night was if you would be impressed if a guy wrote you poetry. I believe you mentioned something about having to be "incredibly funny and charming".
Well, my question is then, does this make the cut?
[URL=http://pitdroid3. livejournal. com/1164. html]Ode to a Puerto-Rican Goddess[/URL]

4. About the same time I became a fan of yours, I was also starting to get serious about becoming a comic book writer. When I heard you were going to be working with Stan Lee on something called "Tigress" I got excited (without even knowing what is was about). Even though that ship has sailed, I never stopped working on my own project of the same name, starring a character I based on you. I have put a lot of effort into this project, and I'm hoping to publish it someday as a comic book. My question to you is: Would you want to work with me on a comic book? I could use someone with more working experience and for that matter, life experience. I really want to see this through to completion and I think you might even dig the story and characters. Please consider it, it's funny and action packed, but at it's core it's about a woman seeking to better understand herself and her direction in life....while battling ninjas and super-villains. She saves the guy's ass too (male opposite of damsel?).


5.
So you're going to Italy to write a feature film eh? Any hints as to what it's about?

6. Actually, do you need an assistant for that trip? I'll work for free and I have a passport already. I want to be a writer and I can't imagine anyone else I'd love to collaborate with more.


7. Are you ever going to be attending a premier or making an appearance near me in New Jersey? It's my dream to one day meet you, it'd be an honor just to buy you a cup of coffee and talk.


8. Ah, what the hell......wanna go out sometime? Even just for that cup of coffee? I have been told I'm a little charming and a good listener. Just want to throw that offer out there.


9. Did you ever get the Christmas gift I sent you? It was a "Daredevil" graphic novel, I thought you might like it since it feature a new character who would be perfect for you. Her name is Maya Lopez, her codename is Echo. Aside from being an unparralled martial artist (read: ass-kicker) she plays the piano, performs interpretive dance, gets a romantic plot with Daredevil and still manages to kick his ass too. I'm telling you, she's perfect for you if they ever make another Daredevil movie. Oh, and she's deaf too. DD is blind and she' deaf, but they fall in love and end up fighting each other, it's a real heartwrenching story.

Hum...really nice you got to answer these. I think it's cool that you want to write. I hope you'll reach your expectations and goals. You seem to really focus on "messages" more then simply entertainment. I believe that's what we need now days. The fun is important but too many ideas have been mold and remade..and with thousands of prequels...
Im curious on what you intend to write!?
Keep at it girl! You rock.
Peace!!

Hey, Michelle. I'm the nerd (QuantumP7) that asked you that favorite scientist question on Merrillwood.
I loved your answer, by the way! Stephen Hawking is the MAN!!

Have you read A Brief History of Time? If so: what are your thoughts?

Oh, and I LOVE that sunset picture. I mean, wow. Whoever took those pictures of you that you've been posting on myspace is talented.

what's your best advice to someone like me who is trying to make it in the film industry. i'm just starting out, and getting jobs and experience is a big challenge when up against women with lengthy resumes. the jobs i've recieved were b/c i was actually given the chance to read the roles, and them seeing i actually am talented. unfortunately those opportunites haven't been presented too much here in Hotlanta.

Hi Michelle,

I'm glad your doing well and, I've always enjoyed your films. Writing and producing are fantastic skills. Since you are a talented actor and have loads of show buissness skills I believe you will be successful in anything you do. I'm going to toss this in since I'm here, but your character Ana Lucia Cortez is still one of my favorites. Some (only a few) people get angry, but I say as soon as a female shows strength, courage, and self control, suddenly they have a b word for that person.. that is anyone of us can be that b. It's insulting and wrong and I hate it.


I miss you on LOST and always will. I own The Breed, Blue Crush and some others. Really enjoyable! I like that you are your own person, you know who you are and where you're going. . with all your dreams and goals.. and you're just getting started. You're a hero to me.. and a great role model. Keep up the good work. I still live by the golden rule.


I appreciate your valuable time to blog, that's awesome and very decent. I think you are a very thoughtful person.


Have a nice weekend.


Steph

Hi Michelle, this question isn't exactly something with acting or careers......but I always just feel so lost and everything and IDK why but I just feel this connection to you and my birthmothers name is Michelle Rodriguez-Martinez so maybe that's why.
I know you aren't my mom but that'd be SO COOL if you were lol! So, well, yeah, do you kinda see what i'm saying about feeling lost and empty? I have lots of issues, kinda, and I'm young and determined but so very lonely and lost!
