Natasha Lyonne

"Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying."

"I’m a movie star. Can I talk to my entertainment lawyer?"

"My fault has been honesty and Ive been sentenced to a lifetime of independent movies, and thats it. Thats how it feels right now."

"As a rule people don’t think other people on drugs are funny. They think they are tragic. They have a point, but I still had the funny."

"Im not a movie star. Im an actor, clearly, but at the same time, I dont have anything else going on. My hobbies are movies and going to the Film Forum and sitting there during the day for the double feature. Thats my life. My life is music, books and movies, thats all I know. Thats all I care about and I mean, as a fourteen year old kid, I was reading Entertainment Weekly and was curious about what was going on and I still read US Weekly. I dont give a shit. The point is that I wish that I had life outside of this, and I think that if this is what Im doing then at least I want it to be a little bit more interesting or important."

"Look, I’m not thrilled that perfect strangers get to have an opinion about me or feel like they know me, but I have enough perspective to know they don’t know me, and I do have a life and I don’t live it for other people.… My reality is very different from what everyone read. The problem is because I did get myself in a lot of trouble, I didn’t get to do the kind of work that maybe I should have been doing, so it became confusing who I really am and what I am really about … It’s totally fucking strange to me that people took a lot of that fucking stuff seriously. … It’s not their fault that they don’t know me personally. Who’s got the time?"
