Zoe Kravitz: [Growing up] I didn’t identify with black culture … I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies.

As one of few black kids in her predominately white school and how her views shifted:

I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in…I didn’t identify with black culture, like, I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn’t into hip-hop music…Black culture is so much deeper than that, but unfortunately that is what’s fed through the media. That’s what people see. That’s what I saw. But then I got older and listened to A Tribe Called Quest and watched films with Sidney Poitier, and heard Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. I had to un-brainwash myself. It’s my mission, especially as an actress.

Why Zoe believes guys don’t hit on her:

I’m going to say that they feel intimidated so that I feel better about the fact that no one’s trying to hang out.
