Natasha Lyonne Quotes

Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.

Look, I’m not thrilled that perfect strangers get to have an opinion about me or feel like they know me, but I have enough perspective to know they don’t know me, and I do have a life and I don’t live it for other people.… My reality is very different from what everyone read.

When I get my picture taken, I'm convinced it's because I must look terrible and they're going to put it in US Weekly as a joke.

The audience is equally responsible for making Scary Movie 3 as the studio system is because as long as they continue to go see Fast and Furious 4, they're going to make it.
