Her dad, George:
• "She was rebellious and naughty"
• "She wanted to be expelled. She was always smoking and bunking off school so they would throw her out. She was looking for trouble. She was very bright and advanced, but very difficult. She didn't take to authority easily."
• "She didn't do well at physics, which to me is a most thrilling subject."
• "It was bemusing, but I tried to be there for her. I set boundaries and she knew that if she crossed them I would be very upset. But she didn't have an unhappy childhood."
• "Rachel has an energy. There is a volcano underneath."
• "What I like about her is that she's not stuck-up. She's got her feet on the ground and she deals with people nicely."
• "She's with a nice young man. I'm happy that she's going to have a baby."

Her mom, Edith:
•"It was very sweet. Darren phoned her daddy to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. They are terribly happy about it. They love each other enormously. I'm very, very happy for her, absolutely delighted." (about Rachel and Darren)

Her fiance, Darren Aronofsky:
• "She’s an actress; he’s an actor. It’s mostly make-believe, and when you shout ‘cut’ it’s over.” (about her sex scene in The Fountain)

Her colleague, Hugh Jackman:
• “And Rachel takes my shirt off and a minute or so later, we’re still kissing, and we heard this voice yell: ‘Take his pants off, Rachel!’. Finally, Darren cuts and says: ‘Why didn’t you take his pants off?.’ [To which Rachel replied] ‘I was shy!’” (about their sex scene in The Fountain)

Her hairstylist, Mark Townsend:
• "Rachel's hair matches her personality. It's not overdone, not super-fussed-over. And she's incredibly approachable and sweet."
