Zoe Kravitz Talks Battle With An Eating Disorder, Relationship With Drake & Desire to Be Non-Famous + Complex Photos

Not feeling satisfied with her frail 90-pound frame for the role:

It was fucked up, man. You could see my rib cage. I was just trying to lose more weight for the film but I couldn’t see: You’re there. Stop. It was scary.

Gaining the strength to move on from that experience:

I just felt it was different. I don’t know…if a f*cking spirit came over me and said: ‘You have to stop.’

Explaining her insecurities:

It’s either: you’re conceited, or insecure, as opposed to just loving yourself…My mother’s a… …beautiful woman, and I think, in some way, I felt intimidated by that sometimes. My dad dated a lot of supermodels.

Some people’s reaction to her mother:

People meet her and don’t know what to do with themselves, but she doesn’t know how f*cking cool she is. Or what she means to the rest of the world.

Being glad she accepted the role in The Road Within:

It made me not only confront my demons, but also realize and accept an insecurity that’s still there, and [that it’s] easy to fall back into that pattern. I feel like something has left my body, like some part of me is gone now, something that was making me so insecure. And it feels amazing.

On how having famous parents has given her opportunities:

It was very easy for me to get an agent when I wanted to act, for obvious reasons. And I don’t know, maybe it’s not because they thought I was talented—I wasn’t the most talented girl in the world when I was 15. It was because my parents were famous, and they were like, ‘Cool, maybe we can make money off of that.’ I know so many talented people that do the most amazing things but they need to work at a restaurant. I don’t. I can make all the art I want and get paid to do it—it’s fucking crazy. I’m so thankful for it.

Her relationship status with Drake:

I’m very flirtatious. [But] he’s family to me. He’s a really, really awesome dude. We inspire each other. We play each other music. Zoë Kravitz is like one of my favorite people in the world.

On being single:

When I tend to meet a guy who’s cool and is into me they’re like, ‘You’re so cool that I can’t handle it.’

On being famous:

I know there are people who know who I am, but I don’t know how famous I am….It’s not that I hate fame or don’t appreciate the response, it’s just not the fire. [Fame] for me is a result of famous parents and hopefully doing my own thing.

Enjoying fame without feeling guilty:

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to enjoy the fame. I guess you just have to trust that you did something awesome in a past life, like saved a kid from a burning home.
