- [nudity on Euphoria (2019)] I was timid at first because I've never done anything like that before. The thing about the nudity in this show is that it's not glamorized. It's not, "Oh, here's a pair of tits." It's just real.
- [people's perception of actors who perform nude] They think, 'Oh, she gets naked onscreen, she's a sex symbol. And I can't get past that. I have no problems with those scenes, and I won't stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we're assuming about actors in the industry.
- They don't pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals. The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month, and that's more than my mortgage.
- [ On The New York Times dubbing her the scariest girl on TV] I love it. It's definitely not a title I thought I would ever receive, but I'll take it.
- [about the stigma around stripping off on TV] When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it's completely different.
- The biggest misconception about me is that I'm a dumb blonde with big t*ts.
- [on nude scenes double standards] There are hour-long compilations of world-famous male actors with nude scenes who win Oscars and get praised for that work, but the moment a woman does it, it degrades them. They're not actresses. They just take off their tops so they can get a role.
- I had boobs before other girls and I felt ostracized for it
- [on nepo babies] I had no idea getting into this industry how many people have connections. I started from ground zero, and I know how f***ing hard it is. "Now I see how someone can just walk in a door, and I'm like, 'I worked my f***ing ass off for ten years for this'.
- I'm very proud of my work in 'Euphoria.' I thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked. I do 'The White Lotus' and all of a sudden critics are paying attention.
- [In response to criticism of her nude scenes] I think it's ridiculous. I'm an artist, I play characters. It makes me want to play characters that p**s people off more
- [making horror films] Being in the horror genre is fun, because in that genre, there's no limitations or boundaries. I always find it so funny when people pick apart a horror film's rules, or its storytelling. I'm like, It's a horror film. You're just having fun. It's not a movie for the Oscars; you know that going into it. We want to create something good, but it's fun having characters that can go to such extreme, absurd places, and people don't question it.
