I started wearing all black around the time I got into Nirvana. I first heard 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' when I was about 12, and I remember jumping on my bed, so excited about it.
From Natasha Lyonne
My family moved to Israel when I was eight until I was 10, and then we came back, and my parents split up. I was suddenly in a single-parent home and on scholarship. Fifth grade was such a hard year for me.
I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.
I do have an outsider's complex of getting made fun of. I was made fun of as a kid, and I don't have the stomach for it.
In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.
As wild as I was, when the cops show up, and suddenly you're being handcuffed, it's so deeply shocking and terrifying, the loss of freedom.
I learned that if you're going to be a troublemaker, you don't want a ton of witnesses, because there's inevitable fallout from living like you're in 'Lord of the Flies.'
I adore Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jason Biggs. Eddie was the only one who called me when they were doing 'American Reunion' and told me, 'You need to do this.'
There's something great about all your worst fears coming true and being said about you. There's a tremendous liberation on some level.
Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?
