Zoë Kravitz

"I think Im lucky having parents that have been in show business for a while and they dont care about the shiny stuff so much. They raised me in that way– to stay grounded, not to chase the shiny pretty things."

"I’m another human being, floating around out there in the universe and figuring it out, too. If seeing that brings you comfort, or gives you hope, or makes you feel anything— makes you feel not al􏰀one — if that is being a role model, then I’m happy to do that."

"Where women are concerned, there’s a lot of pressure to do everything perfectly, all the time. So when we go out of our comfort zone, it’s no small thing."

"in order for someone to be on the top, someone has to be on the bottom. Its oppressive by nature"

"I also really wanted to honor that generation of women that really were made to feel like, "This is how it is. Deal with it."

"In the end, it’s all about self confidence. When you have it, there’s no need to overdo anything – you just have to choose the right colours, the right cuts and the right fabrics"

"Creativity is like this invisible thread that you find, and then knowing I’ve got the thread, I’ve just got to keep following it. It’s going to show up, and that confidence is where the good shit is"

"Sometimes we can’t show up, and that’s okay as long as we know how to communicate that we love those people."

"Everyone learns differently. Everyone hears things differently. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses and insecurities, and you have to learn how to support them and what they need to hear. Some actors really need to hear ‘Good job’ after a take. Some actors don’t care. It’s really understanding that"

"The fact that people don’t think what they say affects a celebrity because [they’re] not a person to them is crazy"

"I think being kind is actually harder than people like to admit"

"I do believe that its something women have the power to do, but I do think we have yet been given the opportunity within society to actually exercise it on a massive scale. That is the reason why it’s open-ended. And I appreciate what youre saying about wanting to know and saying, "Okay, what does she do with this power?" But I wanted to really leave that question open. Is she ending a cycle or is she continuing a cycle? Is it the idea of the oppressed becoming the oppressor, or does everything change now because the woman is in charge and power is this entity?"
