kind
Being part of a patriarchal society, it kind of helped me figure out what I was all about.
When a woman who is sexual takes off her top, it plays into something.
Any woman is sexual, absolutely.
feminism today social-media
Social media is something women didn't have 10 years ago, and that's a big aspect in feminism today. I don't have to be filtered by anyone. I choose.
desire attention okay
Sex is normal. Desire is normal. Attention is normal, and that's okay.
classmates
I really was more sexual than my classmates.
memories home childhood
I have great childhood memories cow-tipping, going off and getting lost in the bog for hours, and coming home covered in dirt.
fashion world attention
The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn't expect. I've shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.
joy hearing albums
It's like never hearing a Joy Division album or something. I'm finally watching Twin Peaks, and I'm so into it.
puberty
I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.
sports athlete guy
I feel like every woman, and actually any guy who hasn't played that many sports, you secretly wonder, like, 'Would I be a pro athlete?'
football beer games
You can go super American and get barbecue and beer and be like, 'Whatever, I'm watching a football game.' That's exactly what I'm going to do.
vintage jeans littles
I always have Aquaphor which is just for like chapped lips, especially in the wintertime when you're traveling a lot. That's just the worst combination of things. And always a really good pair of jeans. Something vintage-y, a little loose and boyfriend-y, but not over the top. They're just comfortable but could still be dressed up or down.
moving people parent
When I was 14, a lot of people said, "She's such a good actress, she loves theater, she looks like a woman, she should consider moving to L.A. and trying to do this professionally." My parents were hesitant, but they would take me.
