You compare yourself to somebody who you think is a peer, and you can totally lose the plot, and not understand that you are nothing like them in the first place, and it was never you versus anybody.

More quotes by Natasha Lyonne
Rather than spend so much time wondering if I'm going to get hired, or is it a problem that I've got this black-tar history, I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing and try to be decent.
Natasha Lyonne
I'm not someone who went to acting school - I was just out of the gate, doing it.
Natasha Lyonne
I was this kid who had been raised in New York, and now all of a sudden, my mother decided that she was a Jewish divorcee and therefore she should be living in Miami Beach.
Natasha Lyonne
The aging process is totally minimizing. Life in general is pretty minimizing because you have a lot of big ideas, and you have to battle the mistaken delusions and instability that come with youth.
Natasha Lyonne
Let's face it. I'm an open book.
Natasha Lyonne
Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.
Natasha Lyonne
As a rule people don't think other people on drugs are funny. They think they are tragic. They have a point, but I still had the funny.
Natasha Lyonne
I have a television, but it's not connected to anything. I watch everything on my computer.
Natasha Lyonne
I have a lot of friends who are trying to clean up their act, or that are still making trouble for themselves, so I’m definitely well-versed on what goes on in the mind and the heart of a person who self-destructs as their coping mechanism, and also what they’re like when you take their preferred substance away.
Natasha Lyonne
When I was a young person working, everybody was older than me, so I had to kind of keep up. I'd see every movie and listen to everything played, and read all the relevant books. Being an actor, it's kind of your job to know what came before you and how big your feelings are allowed to be.
Natasha Lyonne
As wild as I was, when the cops show up, and suddenly you're being handcuffed, it's so deeply shocking and terrifying, the loss of freedom.
Natasha Lyonne
There's that special magical place that exists when you forget everything else because you are laughing hysterically. It's the only truly safe place and it can happen with a stranger or a best friend.
Natasha Lyonne
The person sending ironic text messages has no idea that their voice does not sound so great in text. There's no dry sense of humor in a text. It comes off as a little bit shitty.
Natasha Lyonne
I'm somebody who believes in funny things, and laughing, but I do like for them to come from a place that addresses the human condition.
Natasha Lyonne
In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.
Natasha Lyonne
I'm really enjoying growing up. I feel like so much of my life was in an existential crisis when I was young, and I don't feel as bogged down by that anymore.
Natasha Lyonne
I always see the absurdity in most situations. It's my experience of how life works.
Natasha Lyonne
I learned that if you're going to be a troublemaker, you don't want a ton of witnesses, because there's inevitable fallout from living like you're in 'Lord of the Flies.'
Natasha Lyonne
The thing about curly hair is that it's a toss-up. Some days you can let it air dry and it's better than a hair-do, but some days you just look like a sloppy person. I'm really resistant to a trim. I only do it when it gets hard to brush out in the shower, then I'll submit, begrudgingly.
Natasha Lyonne
What I like to do is to give my real name in Starbucks but be really hostile each time, as if they're asking me something that I've never heard in my life. I give them a really dirty look, Really? It's Natasha. Okay? Like I've never been to Starbucks before. Each time. I enter the premises looking for combat.
