Quote

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.

I've had, like, four long-term boyfriends. I tend to be in relationships for long periods of time.
Rose McGowan
Image
Some people do have a very innate sexuality to them. I may or may not have it, but it makes people see you in a certain light that has nothing to do with me.
Rose McGowan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

When I get my feelings hurt, or when things scare me, or freak out my sensibilities, or when my feathers get ruffled, it takes me aback, of course, but then I think, I'm grateful that I have a mind that can want more for people and want more for the planet. It's not that hard. It's really quite simple.

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.

Image
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.
Rose McGowan
Image
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
Image
If one person starts crying, I'll cry. If one person has no money, I'll give them mine. If I had a bicycle growing up, I always felt incredibly guilty when I see someone sitting at the bus stop.

Image
I did a cover for Rolling Stone the other day and it was a kind of crazy lack of outfit. I thought, Oh, Lord. I'm never going to be Jane Austen in a film now! 'Cause that's what I'd really like to do.

There's nothing wrong with being an agitator.
Rose McGowan
Image
I never started out trying to be an actor. That was not my passion, this was not my thing.
Rose McGowan
Image
From a really young age, I was into female empowerment and supporting the underdog. Right now, I'm into female vengeance.
Rose McGowan
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Why should I downplay myself to make someone else more comfortable?
Rose McGowan
Image
Gosh, if I'm gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!
Rose McGowan
Image
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

The fear is that talking back, that engaging at all, is to open the door for god-knows-what.
