The actress says it's a 'scary time to have an opinion' after receiving backlash to her social media posts about this year's ceremony.
“It’s a scary time to have an opinion or to say the wrong thing or to make controversial art or statements or thoughts or anything,” Kravitz told the publication. “It’s mostly scary because art is about conversation. That should, in my opinion, always be the point. The internet is the opposite of conversation. The internet is people putting things out and not taking anything in.
Kravitz told the magazine that she doesn’t feel the need to always make comments that will be universally supported. “I was reminded that I’m an artist. Being an artist is not about everybody loving you or everyone thinking you’re hot. It’s about expressing something that will hopefully spark a conversation or inspire people or make them feel seen,” she continued. “I think I’m in a place right now where I don’t want to express myself through a caption or a tweet.
She went on to say that she feels a mixture of emotions about her Oscars posts and wouldn’t necessarily handle it that same way if given a chance for a do-over. “I’m torn about what to say right now, because I’m supposed to just talk about it; I have very complicated feelings around it,” Kravitz said. “I wish I had handled that differently. And that’s OK.”
