While I learned, I hid out largely in the gay community, and overall it kept me very safe.

More quotes by Rose McGowan
I never started out trying to be an actor. That was not my passion, this was not my thing.
Rose McGowan
There's nothing wrong with being an agitator.
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.
Rose McGowan
The fear is that talking back, that engaging at all, is to open the door for god-knows-what.
Rose McGowan
I still say I can do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody else. I don't understand why more people aren't like that.
Rose McGowan
I love the absurd - kind of absurdist comedy, absurd things in life.
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've had, like, four long-term boyfriends. I tend to be in relationships for long periods of time.
Rose McGowan
I don't know how exactly but I'm maybe perverse in the sense that I like being disappointed in something on a daily basis. Because it means that I'm still not jaded.
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'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
Quentin Tarantino is controlled insanity, I would say. He's very loud and fun. I don't think there's anybody on the planet like him that I have ever met.
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
I was up watching Meet Joe Black at four AM. I was hoping Brad Pitt would die, and he was still alive at seven forty in the morning! I actually felt sorry for once, for critics.
Rose McGowan
I like strong, strong women who don't go down without a fight. I like iconic roles. They don't come around very often, so I have to wait for them. Obviously I'm not the typical blonde who stands by the side, while the man has all the fun.
Rose McGowan
There was a story that I was in a shoe shop and that I threw a pair of flip flops at the wall, shouting, 'I can't believe how overpriced these are!' I thought, 'Gosh, if I'm gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!'
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
People get so burned out on hearing about sexism, but you know what? I would love to burn out on it. I would love to never talk about that again, but until we're all equal I shall have to fight, and remain fighting.
Rose McGowan
Why are women still this underclass? If we all banded together...
Rose McGowan
I'd never even seen orange cheese. I mean, who decided to make that orange? And so there was something different about me that they wanted to crush. I don't think it had anything to do with my physicality, but every single day in school it was, You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
Rose McGowan
