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.

More quotes by 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.

I would fly to Los Angeles just for a cheeseburger with pickles and extra tomatoes from In-N-Out.
Zoe Kravitz
You have to take care of your body, you have to rest, drink water, try to eat well, and then on top of that, you use makeup to highlight your beauty that comes from your health.
Zoe Kravitz
Music and acting are the most prominent. But I don't like to compare them, since they're both very, very important to me.
Zoe Kravitz
I'm not a very organized person.
Zoe Kravitz
I’ve basically been working really hard for the past couple years. And the nature of the film business is that movies come out when they come out, and these all just happen to be coming out at the same time.

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
The thing that my parents have always taught me is that beauty comes from the inside, and also that beauty stems from health.

My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but it's OK I have his Black Flag one, and that's amazing.
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
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 lucky having parents that have been in show business for a while and they don't care about the shiny stuff so much. They raised me in that way - to stay grounded, not to chase the shiny pretty things. I stay in the moment, because when you do that the hype goes away.
Zoe Kravitz
I think less is more in terms of makeup in general.
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
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
It's sad to have to leave your family but I like the idea of someone believing in something so strongly that are willing to find a new family.
Zoe Kravitz
When you're making an independent film and you care about it so much you do all the prep work beforehand.
Zoe Kravitz
This might surprise you, but I do feel like I have, because the shooting of all these films was spread out, for the most part. They just happen to be coming out at the same time.
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
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.
