'The Constant Gardener' opened doors for me: Rachel Weisz

"Immediately afterward, I was offered jobs by interesting directors, including Alejandro Amenabar. Peter Jackson offered me a role. I didn't have to meet people.

They just offered me jobs, these big fancy directors. People believe in you more after you've won an Oscar, but it's up to you what choices you make and how that goes.

"When I was younger, I would take whatever I was offered because it was money and work and experience. In a way, choosing is the hard part. I know that's a luxury problem, but it's true. I try to go where passion takes me... I think that in big-budget movies there's a lot of other stuff going on besides acting, like special effects..."u00a0
