I always thought I was more satanic than Manson.

ROSE MCGOWANHollywood is all about making an entrance. I don’t want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself.
ROSE MCGOWANYou have to work to carve out your own little corner, and I’m certainly smacking my head against the wall trying to make a dent. I just hope I don’t get brain-damaged before I get there
ROSE MCGOWANIt’s interesting when you go out into the world and see which of your roles have affected people.
ROSE MCGOWANI was a boy in the ads I did as a child. My sister was the girl, and I was the boy. I had short hair and I was in overalls and I was giving flowers to my sister Daisy, who fit their model of what a girl was supposed to look like.
ROSE MCGOWANI love shooting guns. I would never shoot an animal or hunt, but I probably would be a very good hit woman. It’s hand-in-glove for me.
ROSE MCGOWANI really prize my freedom more than work. I prize just being human and doing other things.
ROSE MCGOWANI’m not attracted to dangerous men. I’m attracted, apparently, to height. One ex was 6’6; the one before was 6’4, then 6’3. I like freakishly tall people.
ROSE MCGOWANI literally feel pity for a lot of the stupid idiots that I have to deal with.
ROSE MCGOWANI think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the stake
ROSE MCGOWANI’m not really one of those people who goes and writes some big back story and agonizes over characters. I think you kind of can get it. For me personally, it’s just kind of more instinctive. But I don’t have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally.
ROSE MCGOWANWhy are women still this underclass? If we all banded together…
ROSE MCGOWANOne of my goals is to create more art to put out there in the world.
ROSE MCGOWANThere are moments when you act that you actually disappear from your body, and that’s amazing. That’s better than any drug, I would imagine. People take drugs to disappear from themself, and that’s what it feels like when you hit that moment.
ROSE MCGOWANThere was a story that I was in a shoe shop and that I threw a pair of flip flops at the wall, shouting, ‘I can’t believe how overpriced these are!’ I thought, ‘Gosh, if I’m gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!’
ROSE MCGOWANSome people do have a very innate sexuality to them. I may or may not have it, but it makes people see you in a certain light that has nothing to do with me.
