CULTURE
- If I weren’t an actress, I’d be:
A midwife. - The three qualities that got me
where I am today: Stubbornness,
playfulness and strategic thinking.
Also, good fortune, but I’m not
sure that’s a quality. - Moment I felt I’d made it: When
so many people loved [my 1993
film] True Romance, even though
it was a box-office flop. - Most agonising career decision
I’ve ever made: I turned down
[1989 film] Last Exit to Brooklyn
because I was pregnant. - Change I’d like to see in my
industry: More inclusive casting
and above-the-line positions for
men and women of colour and
all classes of people who are
discriminated against. I feel like
our stories are limited because
of our lack of representation,
and that’s unfortunate for art. - Last thing you binge-watched?
[American comedy series] Baskets
[starring Zach Galifianakis]. - Movie with the greatest ending:
Sunrise [from 1927], directed by
F.W. Murnau. - On my bucket list: Morocco.
9. Song I’d want played at
my funeral: “Cosmic Dancer,”
by T. Rex.
10. Food I’m not ashamed to admit
I love: McDonald’s French fries.
11. If I could live in a foreign
country, it would be: Greece.
12. One thing I’m exceptionally
good at: Napping.
13. One thing I’m epically bad at:
Spelling.
14. Superhero power I’d want
to have: Mind control.
15. The beauty essential you’d have
to pry out of my cold, dead hands:
Coconut oil. And I love my friend
Tara Smith’s Feed the Root, which
is a tingly peppermint shampoo.
16. The three qualities I thought
I wanted in a partner: Honesty,
humour, intelligence.
17. The three qualities I know
now matter: Honesty, humour,
intelligence.
18. Advice to a woman with
a broken heart: Go easy on
yourself and take your time
to heal. Also, remember that
something better is waiting.

GRAACE
With some serious Lorde
circa 2013 Pure Heroine
vibes, Graace is a master
of mixing pop bangers
with edgy synth sounds,
and a sprinkling of
sombre lyrics. In her
new single “Have Fun
At Your Party,” the
Sydney songwriter
croons, “Damn I’m
a mess, just another
morning hungover in
someone’s bed.” We’ve
all been there, girl.YOU’LL LOVE...CXLOE
Get ready to hear this Aussie pop-punk
princess at every house party, ever. With
dark, techno vibes that remind us of the
original brooding pop star – Banks –
CXLOE’s new single “Low Blow” is the
song to blast on your drive home and
belt at the top of your lungs: “Hit me
below the belt, now I’m the psycho.”IF(^) Y
