Kravitz: "Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that's when you're most beautiful."

Kravitz: "That's definitely something I've experienced my whole life - people thinking one thing and then discovering that I'm not, hopefully. So I relate to having to fight that and claim my own identity, when people are trying to throw different ones at me."

Kravitz: "I see the human in everyone and everything. No one is more important than anyone else; I still hang out with my high school friends."

Kravitz: "I don't want to play everyone's best friend. I don't want to play the role of a girl struggling in the ghetto. It's not that that story isn't important, but I saw patterns, and was like, 'I don't relate to these people.'"

Kravitz: “The psychology of humans is really interesting to me.”

Kravitz: “We used to joke that my version of rebellion would be, like, to become a lawyer or something. My dad would say that sometimes, because I’m good at arguing.”

Kravitz: “People are not expressing or doing what they want to do, because they’re afraid of getting into trouble.”

Kravitz: “The idea of certain actors not being able to play a certain part because you’re not that thing in real life, I think that’s really dangerous. Because I don’t know what acting is, if we’re not allowed to play someone. It’s about empathy. It’s about stepping outside yourself.”

Kravitz: "I learned early on - I can go to a shoot, and they will put anything they want to put on me, and I'll look like an idiot because I didn't say I don't like it. It's OK to have an opinion."

Kravitz: "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."

Kravitz: “I love to write, I love to edit, but acting often really stresses me out, because I feel like I’m there to serve the director and I don’t want to let them down.”

Kravitz: "When I think of my version of a role model, it's not about being the perfect Samaritan; it's just being out there and being honest and happily imperfect."

Kravitz: "I'm a total weirdo and have often felt like an outcast and a freak, and I love that. It makes things so much more exciting."

Kravitz: "The whole Hollywood thing where people want to put me into this 'quirky-fashionista, daughter of' category makes me mad because it's promoting something that I don't believe in, and it's not who I am."

Kravitz: "Everyone is looking at everyone else to find out what's cool. No one knows what's cool."

Kravitz: "In high school, I had a really difficult time just loving myself. It's weird; I feel like in the world we live in today, you're not supposed to be like, 'I'm beautiful,' like that's a conceited thing to say."

Kravitz: "My style is very inspired by both my parents, so we all have the same taste."

Kravitz: "I think it's always very important to be comfortable and just kind of expressive; if you take fashion too seriously, then you lose the fun of it. I think you should always take the risk."

Kravitz: "I feel like most creative people are total freaks."

Kravitz: "My mom and grandmother were actresses, and I knew I was going to do this since I was super young. I would put on shows at my grandparents' house and sing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' in the living room. I was in drama club and chorus, and I knew every word to 'Grease.'"
