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 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 MCGOWANI’ve had, like, four long-term boyfriends. I tend to be in relationships for long periods of time.
ROSE MCGOWANI literally feel pity for a lot of the stupid idiots that I have to deal with.
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 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 MCGOWANI really prize my freedom more than work. I prize just being human and doing other things.
ROSE MCGOWANIt’s interesting when you go out into the world and see which of your roles have affected people.
ROSE MCGOWANI like strong, strong women who don’t go down without a fight. I like iconic roles. They don’t come around very often, so I have to wait for them. Obviously I’m not the typical blonde who stands by the side, while the man has all the fun.
ROSE MCGOWANThis hetero – normative behavior and herd mentality is dangerous. It’s okay to be different.
ROSE MCGOWANI like people who are fit. I figure if I work out, you can at least return the favor. Would I go out with a meathead? No.
ROSE MCGOWANOne of my goals is to create more art to put out there in the world.
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 MCGOWANSince I didn’t grow up going to school dances, etc., I didn’t have the normal . . . I grew up in a very different way so a lot of the childish concerns or teenage concerns weren’t my concerns. My concerns were survival.
ROSE MCGOWANHollywood is all about making an entrance. I don’t want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself.
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.
