Rachel McAdams for Allure Magazine August 2014

On her big-screen debut role in The Hot Chick: I remember standing backstage, dressed like a mechanic. I had a pink bikini on underneath, grease on my face, and I just remember breathing deep and thinking, Oh, my God, I have to go out there and do this striptease, as a man…as a woman. How did I get here? It was probably one of the scariest moments I’ve had in my career. It stretched me in ways I could have never imagined. Literally.”

On if she still believes in true love: “Oh yeah, for sure. Absolutely.”

On rumours that Lindsay Lohan was intimidated by her on the set of Mean Girls: “If anything, I was in awe of her talent. I looked at her as this experienced actor, and she had great comedic timing, so natural. It’s just funny to hear that because you never know what people are thinking. We all try to act like we’ve got it together.”
