“My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like ...” — Gillian Jacobs Quote

“My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school.”

“I want there to be tons and tons and tons and tons of movies starring women.”

“I've definitely run from the cops in the New York City subways.”

“From the beginning I thought about working with the body in movement, the space between the body and clothes. I wanted the clothes to move when people moved. The clothes are also for people to dance or laugh.”

“I don't like to use expensive materials. I take care to make costs reasonable. It's very similar to the way I make clothes.”

“It's superficial that people think I'm cool because I wear certain clothes and I have tattoos. The funniest part is, when they get to know me, they're always surprised by how nerdy I am.”
