Love Quote by Josie Maran

"I would love to play the Femme Fatale or an action role like Trinity in the Matrix or something like that. You know, a part with a lot of costume changes"

About this Quote

There is a wink embedded in the ambition here: Maran reaches for the cultural shorthand of power - the femme fatale, Trinity, the sleek, kinetic woman who controls the room and the camera - then undercuts it with the punchline of fashion. "You know" is doing a lot of work. It softens the ask, signals self-awareness, and keeps her desire legible within an industry that often lets models be aspirational but not "serious". The last clause reframes action-hero agency as wardrobe logistics, a move that reads like humor but also like savvy brand management.

The specific intent is clear: she wants a pivot from being looked at to being cast, from still image to narrative. Trinity isn't just an action role; it's a late-90s icon of cool femininity that isn't domesticated, a character whose power is visual, physical, and stylistic. For a model, that's a strategically chosen reference: it aligns acting range with an already proven aesthetic market.

The subtext is the tightrope models walk when they talk about acting. Claim too much gravitas and you invite backlash; lean into glamour and you stay in your lane. Maran’s line splits the difference, implying she understands the cinematic labor (roles, arcs, personas) while nodding to what gatekeepers already value about her (clothes, looks, transformation). Costume changes become a socially acceptable way to say: I want to be multiple things on screen, not just one fixed image.
