Michelle Rodriguez was at LAX waiting to check in to her flight when the folks of TMZ stopped her and asked her a few questions, starting with what she thought about Seth Rogen taking credit for starting the wage gap conversation.
At first she misunderstood and said she didn’t really understand the “weight thing,” but then, when the cameraman clarified, Rodriguez responded: “Well, you know, that’s the world we live in it’s a patriarchal society.”
The actress also went on to say, or rather, imply, that if Rogen gets the credit for starting that conversation, that’s fine, because it’s not something that’s constantly on her mind, even though she admitted that she gets paid “a lot less” than her colleagues. “I don’t complain, you know, I’m not gonna whine about it,” she insisted. “It’s like being born a slave, you don’t complain, like, ‘Oh, darn my luck; I wish I was born somewhere else or maybe some other way, but it is what it is.”
When the interviewers pressed on, Rodriguez just shut the whole thing down by saying, “Nope. I don’t care; I’m not about money or power. I don’t care about money.”
The “Fast and Furious” star has proven time to time that she is more focused on getting her spiritual life together than anything else. She’s been very open about the grief that took over her life when she lost her costar and best friend Paul Walker.
In a search for inner peace, Rodriguez took Ayahuasca tea to go on a spiritual journey where she found that, more than grieving the loss of her friend, she was jealous of him. “I’ll tell you that my Ayahuasca trip made me sad that he left me here,” she said, before bursting out laughing. It wasn’t a sadness that he’s gone; it was more like a jealousy that he’s there first.”
