I'm not a fancy person. I love small spaces. I like tiny cars. I don't buy things, aside from music and books. I don't get loads of attention and maybe it's because I'm kind of boring. I don't think I'm boring, but I have different interests. I don't go out much, not because I'm hiding but because I'm not a big drinker. I go out and have a good time, I go to concerts and stuff.
Ellen PageIโm a huge fan of the program Democracy Now, which is hosted by Amy Goodman, and I subscribe to the podcast.
Ellen PageI think people who work and being alive and paying your bills and feeding your kids is hard. It's hard to have the space. Quite frankly, I'm in a privileged position to think about things, to read about things and to educate myself about things. A lot of people just don't have the time.
Ellen PageYou hear things like, โPeople shouldnโt know about your life because youโre creating an illusion on-screen.โ But I donโt see other actresses going to great lengths to hide their heterosexuality. Thatโs an unfair double standard.
Ellen PageThere are moments when you are, um, encouraged to dress a certain way. But I can't. It just erodes my soul. That's no criticism to girls who can wear a tiny dress and kill it - that's awesome. People always attribute being a feminist to hating girls being sexual, and that's not it at all. I'm just not into it.
