Zoey Deutch is featured in a new article for Women’s Wear Daily. The actress sat down with the magazine to promote her new film, Not Okay. Highlights from her interview are below.
On not being able to remember a life without the internet: “I’m in a generation that had it at like 12, So it’s very much a part of my life. I have friends who are only like four years older than me and because they only got it when they were around 16, it’s not as ingrained in their brain. I think having it at 12 versus 16, or having it at 12 versus 18, is very different. They feel like it’s something that is forced, and they have to be convinced into posting — whereas it’s very much part of my life, for better or worse.”
On not finding her character in the film, Danni, unlikable: “I mean, it’s always hard, even though I’ve been asked this 1,000 times. I don’t know why I don’t have a clear, concise answer — probably because I didn’t dislike her. She is misguided and she makes a lot of bad decisions, and I think she is a real product of her environment. And I think she is the smoke, not the fire. I think the part about her that makes her, in other people’s eyes, unlikable, is that she’s lacking self-awareness. So that was the quality of her that I was really tapping into. None of it is initially coming from malicious intent and it isn’t calculated. She’s not a sociopath. She’s just completely privileged, entitled and has no self-awareness.”
