"When I'm not working I just like to be comfortable: I love black, nothing tight, no heels, no make-up - it's nice to be able to breathe!"
About this Quote
Green's choices are tellingly specific. Black is the classic armor color: chic, anonymous, unfussy, a way to disappear on purpose. "Nothing tight" and "no heels" reject the silhouette and posture that signal availability and polish. "No make-up" isn't a moral statement so much as a boundary: a small reclaiming of time, skin, and mood from a culture that reads a woman's bare face as unfinished work.
The intent lands because it's not framed as empowerment branding. It's practical, almost relieved - "it's nice" - the language of someone stepping out of costume. Coming from an actress known for gothic glamour and high-voltage roles, the contrast carries extra charge: the public persona is extreme; the private desire is basic bodily ease. In a celebrity ecosystem where "effortless" often takes a team, Green makes effortlessness sound like what it should be: literal rest.
