I was never nervous directing. Not once. I'm more nervous acting. I'm far more nervous on set, before I say my lines, than I ever have been, as a director.

More quotes by Rose McGowan
I was a boy in the ads I did as a child. My sister was the girl, and I was the boy. I had short hair and I was in overalls and I was giving flowers to my sister Daisy, who fit their model of what a girl was supposed to look like.

Every woman knows that any man engaging in street harassment can switch to anger very quickly and that anger goes to rage and their rage is their masculinity being threatened. We're scared for good reason.
Rose McGowan
This hetero - normative behavior and herd mentality is dangerous. It's okay to be different.
Rose McGowan
I'm not really one of those people who goes and writes some big back story and agonizes over characters. I think you kind of can get it. For me personally, it's just kind of more instinctive. But I don't have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally.
Rose McGowan
Since I didn't grow up going to school dances, etc., I didn't have the normal . . . I grew up in a very different way so a lot of the childish concerns or teenage concerns weren't my concerns. My concerns were survival.
Rose McGowan
I love shooting guns. I would never shoot an animal or hunt, but I probably would be a very good hit woman. It's hand-in-glove for me.
Rose McGowan
I literally feel pity for a lot of the stupid idiots that I have to deal with.
Rose McGowan
It wasn't that I was shy to go out with him, I just didn't want people with preconceived notions to assume anything about why we were together. I was pretty careful for a while.
Rose McGowan
A lot of times when you do things where you're killing people, the character is always having an existential crisis about it. It's fun to be no-holds-barred and have no big crisis of conscious.
Rose McGowan
I see so much beauty in people and in the world and when I see ugliness I try to either expose it or fight but also remind myself that it's mostly just people who can't spell who say mean things.
Rose McGowan
I love the absurd - kind of absurdist comedy, absurd things in life.
Rose McGowan
Gosh, if I'm gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!
Rose McGowan
Hetero - normative behavior and herd mentality is dangerous. It's okay to be different. It's okay to stand out for whatever reason. Some people are just born that way and instead of trying to tear them down, learn something new. Be curious and open because maybe that's a pathway out for you, too.
Rose McGowan
I'm not attracted to dangerous men. I'm attracted, apparently, to height. One ex was 6'6 the one before was 6'4, then 6'3. I like freakishly tall people.
Rose McGowan
I just felt like, Why would you discuss my body as if it's an object? People will come up and say things like, Are your breasts real? I mean, people will come up and discuss my body as if I'm not human.
Rose McGowan
I was 13. And on my own for about 10 months, but those were long months. My stepdad wanted me out of his hair and tried to put me in a home, a hospital kind of place for kids with drug problems, which I absolutely did not belong in. So I left that place and struck out on my own...
Rose McGowan
The people that are the invisible ones, the marginalized, the quote-unquote weirdos, the people that get things thrown at them, the people that get harassed every day just for existing . . . I just still strongly align with them.
Rose McGowan
It's funny, honestly, by rights, with a lot of the stuff that's happened to me I should be running down the street with my hair on fire, but instead I want to shape things, and I want to shake things up. There's nothing wrong with being an agitator.
Rose McGowan
I think of the kids that live on top of garbage dumps, I think of the ways we could reach out to other countries, I think of certainly climate change. There's so much. The nighttime is that time, is it not?
Rose McGowan
While I learned, I hid out largely in the gay community, and overall it kept me very safe.
