Tessa Thompson Net Worth

Tessa Thompson's Quotes

• As a kid, I loved going to lots of thrift stores with my parents. There was a period where I thought it was embarrassing, and then I started to get older - I realized they were really cool.
• There was a period when I had a hard time reconciling all the different parts of me in a way that I thought would make sense to others.
• The term 'breakout' always makes me think of an inmate or some butterfly emerging out of a cocoon.
• Veronica Mars (2004) was my first job, and for some reason, my character changed her hairstyle halfway through the season from curly to - I don't even know why - suddenly straight.
• I grew up partially in L.A. and partially in New York. In L.A., anything goes because it's really temperate. There aren't any fashion rules dictated by weather, whereas in New York, of course, there are. New York is seasonal, and also it's a fashion mecca, so people are a little more aware of how they put things together.
