I live a very international life, but when I come back to Hollywood, a town I love in a lot of ways, I have to wonder, “What decade are you in? Like, seriously, what decade? It’s not this one.”
ROSE MCGOWANI live a very international life, but when I come back to Hollywood, a town I love in a lot of ways, I have to wonder, “What decade are you in? Like, seriously, what decade? It’s not this one.”
ROSE MCGOWANI don’t believe in rules. I would be happy to be climbing a pyramid when I’m 70. And I know I will be.
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 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 MCGOWANI literally feel pity for a lot of the stupid idiots that I have to deal with.
ROSE MCGOWANThere have been a lot of murders and suicides in my family; it’s like the primary cause of death. I wonder if there’s a certain energy that attracts that.
ROSE MCGOWANQuentin Tarantino is controlled insanity, I would say. He’s very loud and fun. I don’t think there’s anybody on the planet like him that I have ever met.
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 MCGOWANIt’s interesting when you go out into the world and see which of your roles have affected people.
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 think of the kids that live on top of garbage dumps, I think of the ways we could reach out to other countries, I think of certainly climate change. There’s so much. The nighttime is that time, is it not?
ROSE MCGOWANI always thought I was more satanic than Manson.
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.
ROSE MCGOWANHollywood is all about making an entrance. I don’t want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself.
ROSE MCGOWANThe people that are the invisible ones, the marginalized, the quote-unquote weirdos, the people that get things thrown at them, the people that get harassed every day just for existing . . . I just still strongly align with them.
ROSE MCGOWANOne of my goals is to create more art to put out there in the world.
