I started kite boarding when I was 13. My dad was a kite boarder, and I begged him to teach me until he finally agreed. He made me wait because it can be dangerous.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
When you look at the roles I've done and the roles coming up, they're all strong. I guess I'm more drawn to that than that kind of submissive role females can be categorised as.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Stick up for what you believe in and never, ever feel that you can't say something or speak your mind. I think that would be the best advice. Be strong. Be confident. That's really all you need.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I'd love, love, love to do a comedy. I can't imagine being on set and being happy and cheerful. That seems so foreign.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I wasn't thinking that I was two horrors back to back; I was thinking these were characters that I want to play.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I used to be a professional kiteboarder. People were like, 'Oh, my God, are you scared of sharks? Are you scared of injuries?' You can't be scared. If you're scared, then you can't do it. You can't train to be the best.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I went from living in the Dominican Republic - every day, my mom and I would cook, or we'd go hang out with the kids - to flying a private jet to Chicago with Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid. People had champagne, and they were going to these amazing restaurants. It was a culture shock. It's important, I think, to have that. To see both sides.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I grew up with horror. My dad loves movies, and he passed a lot of them on to me. There's something so fun about them.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
With kiting, you have to land a trick, and in that instant you know whether you won or lost - I knew I could become the best in the world if I trained. But with acting, there are different variations; there's not a right or wrong way. It's so hard because it's so out of your hands. I have no idea what's going to happen!
Quote by -Maika Monroe
There's some freedom that you get with indie films that you don't get with the big-budget ones. There's just a different style. I hope I can switch back and forth for the rest of my career, but I've kind of grown up on indies, and there's nothing better than working with these directors so closely and and being such a huge part of the process.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
To this day, I haven't seen 'Jaws.' Because I was always in the ocean, when I was a kid, my mom said, 'See the movies that you want to, but I'm telling you, do not ever see Jaws.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
There are definitely scripts I start reading, where it doesn't interest me. Maybe it'll be a good movie, but the character doesn't intrigue me.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
'The Shining,' 'A Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Halloween.' Those are the greats.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I grew up really loving old-school horror such as 'Halloween' and 'The Birds.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
It's really cool to be able to do both. I get a chance to be in this film with these amazing actors, the coolest people ever, and I try to kiteboard as much in my free time as I can.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
When you watch a film, a huge part of it is the music and the coloring and everything that comes together to create such a unique film. So, reading the script, I had no idea what it was gonna be.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
My dad showed me loads of films when I was young, but I never thought I would be in movies. That didn't seem like a real job to me.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
There are a lot of times where, filming 'It Follows,' I'm fighting against a guy dressed in a green suit for special effects, and I'm just like, 'No. There's no way this is going to be pulled off.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I'm lucky because I remember my dad showing me 'Independence Day,' and I loved it.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I love horror movies. It's so fun being absolutely terrified. It's damn hard to shoot, though. I didn't realize how difficult it was to make a horror movie as an actor. Physically and mentally, phew.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I'm a huge fan of the first 'Independence Day.' It is amazing. When it came out in 1995, just how explosive and big it was... I loved it.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I remember reading 'The Guest' and thinking, 'This is going to be something!'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
SOLOSHOT is such a brilliant idea and an athlete's dream. It has given me the ability to film myself training without anyone's help - it's perfect because I can go to the beach, set up my SOLOSHOT, and not have to rely on anyone to stand there and film me from the beach for hours.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
Knowing that anything can happen at any time, I made sure the people that I love know that.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
I would really love to play a superhero. That is definitely up there on my list. Captain Marvel especially. That would be so cool.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
In the Dominican Republic, my mom and I lived in this little tiny town called Cabarete, which is very poor.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
You can learn more from a person just from their observations and how they see the world. More so than just talking.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
A lot of times, I'll get roles where it's the dumb blonde or the cheerleader, and I just have no interest - and it can be a great movie, it really can - or the mean girl; those things don't intrigue me much.
Quote by -Maika Monroe
There's a lot of comedy in 'The Guest,' so it was a bit more fun in a sense - it wasn't so heavy like 'It Follows.'
Quote by -Maika Monroe
With a project like 'The 5th Wave,' you do something you would never do in your normal life; I would never have had S.W.A.T. training or boot camp, and there's something really cool about learning stuff like that that's really fun about our job.
