"I love being a redhead. It's a rare thing, so I think there's a bond between redheads"
About this Quote
The word “rare” does heavy lifting. It’s not just biology; it’s status. Rarity invites attention, and attention can be flattering, exhausting, or both. Prepon’s move is to convert that spotlight into community: “a bond between redheads.” That bond is a kind of soft counterpower, a way of reclaiming what might otherwise be an isolating label. You can hear the subtext: when strangers comment on you like you’re a category, you start recognizing others in the same category as allies.
As an actress, Prepon is also speaking from an industry that markets difference while sanding down complexity. Hair color becomes branding, shorthand, casting texture. Her comment gently acknowledges that without sounding cynical: if you’re going to be typed, you might as well find warmth and solidarity in the type. It’s a small sentence that reveals how micro-identities form: not from grand ideology, but from living as something people notice before they know you.
