"I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up"
About this Quote
As an actress whose public image often leans intense, gothic, or combustible, Green’s phrasing plays against the standard celebrity soundbite. She’s not selling a love story. She’s describing a creative or emotional reboot: the need for fixation, obsession, a project, a role, a craft - the kind of "something" that reorganizes your inner life. Falling in love becomes a metaphor for attention, for choosing a north star that makes the days feel less like repetition.
"I need to wake myself up" lands like a diagnosis of numbness rather than sadness. It suggests that drifting is the real threat, not heartbreak. The subtext is almost practical: passion as a tool, not a destiny. In a culture that treats romance as the default cure for malaise, Green’s line quietly insists that aliveness can come from art, work, risk, curiosity - any commitment strong enough to pull you back into your own senses.
