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.

More quotes by Natasha Lyonne

Image
I always see the absurdity in most situations. It's my experience of how life works.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
I just never get into trouble. It's not my thing.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
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.

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.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
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
Image
I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
Remember when we didn't live in the future? When we were young, it was not the future yet.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
No, but it is something I really enjoy speaking about. You've got to do something with all the books you've read, so you might as well imagine you've optioned them.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
It's such a weird thing: to sit and look at yourself is so distracting to the psyche. It would be like me standing in front of a mirror and looking at myself all day, trying to find a flaw.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
I adore Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jason Biggs. Eddie was the only one who called me when they were doing 'American Reunion' and told me, 'You need to do this.'
Natasha Lyonne
Image
I am a hooker with a heart of gold.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
I would love to option 'Crying of Lot 49 and turn it into a movie.
Natasha Lyonne
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.
Natasha Lyonne
Image
I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.
