When I was 5, someone thought it was smart to let me watch The People Under the Stairs. It might not have even been that scary, but I do remember skinned people in cages under the stairs and a man who lived in a wall without a tongueโฆ and thatโs why I cry after sex.
Ellen PageUsually, when you're in a movie, you're disconnected from it. You're never going to feel what you felt when you made it.
Ellen PageI am a feminist and I am totally pro-choice, but what's funny is when you say that people assume that you are pro-abortion. I don't love abortion but I want women to be able to choose and I don't want white dudes in an office being able to make laws on things like this.
