"Let's face it. I'm an open book." — Natasha Lyonne

It's not easy trying to navigate your internal world in the public eye.

When I was a young person working, everybody was older than me, so I had to kind of keep up. I'd see every movie and listen to everything played, and read all the relevant books. Being an actor, it's kind of your job to know what came before you and how big your feelings are allowed to be.

I always see the absurdity in most situations. It's my experience of how life works.

I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.
