"You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things"
About this Quote
The line works because it’s disarmingly ordinary. Changing hair color is not revolutionary, but saying it out loud reframes what’s often treated as vanity into strategy. It hints at a career-long reality for actresses of Lynch’s generation: your “brand” gets managed for you unless you actively interrupt it. The subtext is less “I’m fickle” and more “I refuse the static image you’re trying to sell back to me.”
There’s also a quiet challenge to the way audiences and press talk about women’s bodies as public property. “I do all sorts of different things” reads like a shrug, but it’s a boundary. It signals multiplicity, experimentation, maybe even a little impatience with being interpreted as a finished product. In Lynch’s film era, when glamour shots could harden into destiny, reinvention wasn’t just aesthetic play; it was a way to keep moving, to stay castable, to stay interesting, to stay hers.
