Stated in a 2000 article in Interview magazine: "No matter what, people are so narrow minded that it won't ever be Michelle Rodriguez the actress, it will always be Michelle Rodriguez the Latin actress. And it's just something that I have to… Show more live with, because of the fact that people need labels to understand things. I can't even get into this ignorance that I'm dealing with. So I just ignore it, you know? Ignore the ignorance." Did voice work on video games Halo 2, Driv3r and True Crimes: Streets of L.A. ~ Rovi
