I had talked to my agent a lot over the years about not being interested in stereotypical black films [because] I didn't like the way they were representing black people over and over and over again in the same way.

The kinds of things I like with crystals are the really beautiful costume jewelry, vintage pieces, and they usually have that diamond shape.
Zoe Kravitz
Artists also have the responsibility of reflecting the truth.
Zoe Kravitz
Music has always helped me stay creative and grounded because I'm traveling and shooting and trying to understand other people. Music was something I could just sit in a room and make with my friends.
Zoe Kravitz
Anyone that is able to put a high school film and gonzo journalism together, it's like, Yes, please!
Zoe Kravitz
The thing that my parents have always taught me is that beauty comes from the inside, and also that beauty stems from health.
Zoe Kravitz
A lot of people do what their families do. Imagine if everyone in the family is a doctor and they decide to become an actor. Then people have to make those choices for themselves and their art and what they believe in.
Zoe Kravitz
TV is part of your life - it makes you feel connected to the rest of the world - as opposed to someone else's perspective crushed into a few hours.
Zoe Kravitz
I never had a real job. I started acting in high school, and then I started working. So, I never got to have that experience.
Zoe Kravitz
Television's getting better because people are investing more money and time and respect into it. But the secret weapon of television is that, because it's a slow burn, you get to meditate on things and develop them. As opposed to film, where you have an allotted amount of time and hopefully you can wrap it up in there.
Zoe Kravitz
Let's let everything come to the surface, even with people we come in contact with for a moment. This situation can help us be a little bit more awake with each other.
Zoe Kravitz
I see the human in everyone and everything. No one is more important than anyone else I still hang out with my high school friends.
Zoe Kravitz
When you look cakey, or you have too much on, and you actually see the makeup, the makeup isn't doing its job. When you use the makeup in a way where the people aren't thinking about the makeup, and they're looking at you, that's what we want.
Zoe Kravitz
Women that look like me [the black ones] need to see more of themselves in social media, in film, in music.
Zoe Kravitz
I'm a New Yorker I've paid my dues.
Zoe Kravitz
Black women have kinky hair, and we think we have limitations on what we can do. It's interesting that people think, 'Oh this is the only thing they can do.' But if you have blonde, straight hair and don't change it for 20 years - nobody thinks about it. Nobody says anything!
Zoe Kravitz
Fashion is fun, and fashion is a form of art and self-expression. And I think it should have a wink-wink nature to it. For me, it's about the way it makes you feel. If you want to feel sexy, you want to feel bright, you want to feel good. That's what people are attracted to - when they see you execute an emotion or an idea clearly and proudly.

I'm pretty much a thrift shop gal. Flea markets on Sundays.
Zoe Kravitz
Im a total weirdo and have often felt like an outcast and a freak, and I love that. It makes things so much more exciting.
Zoe Kravitz
I like photography and I write I also write music. One day I would like to direct [films] as well.
Zoe Kravitz
I always messed around with makeup. From a very early age, my mom would let me play with hers, and my grandma, and my aunts and stuff were always like, 'Let me put lipstick on her!' that they'd have in their purse. But I think just from a very young age I've had fun with makeup.
