I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in. I didn’t identify with black culture. Like, I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn’t into hip-hop music. I liked Neil Young. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
For me, whenever I would see a lot of ‘black films,’ I didn’t feel represented in it. I didn’t feel connected to the characters or the situations or the humor. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I’ve stayed away from doing ‘urban film’ because I just don’t relate to the characters. I’m not going to take a role because I happen to have the same skin color. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I think both of my parents are unique in the way they don’t live their lives as celebrities. They’re both artists, first and foremost. My mom lives a very private life. So does my father. You don’t really see them in the tabloids or anything like that. I think that’s definitely a decision you can make. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I used to make my grandparents pay a dollar to watch me sing ‘Grease’ songs and ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ in their living room. I was always an entertainer, and I would always do all that stuff, but it slowly evolved into a career, which is great, but it wasn’t a plan. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I was raised vegan. My mom would always make quinoa with squash and kale, hippie stuff like that. Now I eat meat, but I try to be conscious about where it’s coming from. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
When I have trouble sleeping, I’ll read, watch old episodes of ‘Sex and the City,’ or dance around my house. Music helps me wind down. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I do focus my energy on music, but it’s just the way that the industry works. I kind of have to take what I can get when it comes to acting and show up so they’ll hire me. And music I get to do when I have time. It’s not that I focus less, it’s just the way it works. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I’m only at the beginning of my career, but I feel successful in that I haven’t sold out in any way, shape or form. I feel good about the choices I’ve made, and I don’t feel like I’ve let go of any of my values. Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
I look back on some of my outfits, and I’m like: ‘Why did I wear that? Where are my friends and why didn’t they tell me not to leave the house?’ If they had, I probably would’ve said, ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about. This looks amazing.’ Zoe Kravitz Read Quote
