Quote

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.

Image
There are epic downsides to living a somewhat public life. The upshot of that is there's nothing to hide. It's a relief in a way. There's nothing about me that can't be said.

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

Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.

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.

Let's face it. I'm an open book.

Image
I'm not to be confused with Natasha Henstridge in 'Species,' where I just emerge out of the weird alien womb looking amazing. I really rely heavily on my black outfits and my gold chains to give me sort of a thing.

I'm not someone who went to acting school - I was just out of the gate, doing it.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
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.

Image
Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?

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.

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.
