Zitat des Tages von Gaby Hoffmann:
I didn't even realize that I was interested in film until I was in college, and since then, I've had a very uncertain and sort of lost decade.
I don't watch a lot of T.V. I only watch things via Netflix, so I only watch the things that I'm choosing to watch.
It's very odd that we have such an easy relationship to violence in this country, and we're still shocked by the female figure.
I had so many faux-parents.
I've never been on a television show as a regular before.
I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.
People are obsessed with actresses being hairless, fatless Barbie dolls.
I think being on a set where people aren't being treated as equals, and with just a common level of decency and respect, is really uncomfortable.
Oh, I'm pregnant on 'Girls.'
Everybody I grew up with has incredible self-confidence and self-assurance. We were all loud, outspoken, wild kids and were celebrated for it.
It's true that most people in the trans community don't have the incredible wealth and privilege that Caitlyn does. I don't think that, in any way, diminishes her struggle in her own transitioning.
I've always looked the same, and every 10 years, I'm a little bit in fashion.
Going into my 20s, I was uncertain, trying to figure out what my relationship to acting is.
I'm basically useless in interviews because I don't remember anything. But I find it very peaceful, actually, because I have a sort of busy mind. I'm like, 'This is great!'
Her mother, Laurie Simmons, is a contemporary artist, and my stepmother, Cindy Sherman, is a photographer, so they've known each other forever. Lena and I were often at the same dinner parties when we were kids.
The sleeplessness is proven; it eradicates your memory.
Television has filled the space for actors that really want to make good work and not just make a lot of money and be famous for making a lot of money and being famous.
My senior thesis was a documentary. By the time I graduated from college, I thought I was going to make films, and my interest in acting was there but kind of confused.
Our parents all experimented with raising us in a fairly loose, unorthodox way. A huge emphasis was placed on creativity, and our artistic efforts were never dismissed as childish. There was a sense that we - kids and grown-ups - all had the potential to make something of value. Our drawings were not simply destined for the refrigerator.
I actually voted for Nader.
My mom grew up in a strict Catholic family and moved to New York and became part of the Warhol factory.
If you needed to borrow a cup of sugar, you knocked on your neighbour's door.
My mother certainly never altered the topics of her conversation based on children being present.
I watched a lot of television as a kid, and the suburbs to me - that was exotic! Like, a mom and dad who lived in the same house and had jobs and cooked breakfast at the same time every morning and did laundry in a washing machine and dryer? That was like, 'Woah! Who are they? How do you get to be like that?'
My mom could be pretty strict.
I just wanted to rollerblade at Union Square.
I'm somebody who's super into psychology and analysis and the human psyche and the human experience.
The amount of attention and sensitivity and education that we're getting in terms of specifically the transgender community is great, and certainly that's new to me. But it's not incredibly unfamiliar. I grew up in downtown New York in the '80s.
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.
It was like I lived in a little suburban neighborhood in the middle of New York City because I could run around barefoot or, you know, completely independently from a very young age in the safety of this building where I knew everybody and where I had friends on every floor, and I knew the bellmen in the lobby.
I think sexuality is fluid, and we have such a strange relationship to it in this country. It's been so fixed and so controlled for so long.
Suburbia, to me, was the most fantastical, unusual place. I thought it was Disneyland.
I think that every young person is a little mentally ill, you know? If we're not totally shutting down, we're all a little bit mentally ill in our twenties and maybe into our early thirties.
I thought I was a sexy symbol!
I was like, Amazon Prime? Who has Amazon Prime? It turns out everybody.
I curate my T.V.-watching quite carefully.
