I think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the stake
ROSE MCGOWANI think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the stake
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 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 MCGOWANI always thought I was more satanic than Manson.
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 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 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 MCGOWANIf one person starts crying, I’ll cry. If one person has no money, I’ll give them mine. If I had a bicycle growing up, I always felt incredibly guilty when I see someone sitting at the bus stop.
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 MCGOWANOne of my goals is to create more art to put out there in the world.
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 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’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 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 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.
