Chloe Grace Moretz is 19, but she has done so much you can’t help but feel a little jealous. Her resume is pretty impressive, and she seems incredibly down to Earth. And yes, I might be praising her so much because she was one of the few who stood up and called Kim Kardashian out after her naked picture, and this is the kind of behavior I admire. Chloe covers Glamour‘s June issue, and she talks about it all, acting, dating and feminism.

On her role in the upcoming Neighbors 2:
Shelby’s a frat bro. She goes off the cuff. I like that, because I don’t think we [usually get to] see young women put into a position where they’re making rash decisions. When we do see young women bucking the system, we see them do it in a very educated sense. Instead of being poised…[Shelby] genuinely is kind of an idiot!
On what she looks for in a role:
With movies like Kick-Ass, Carrie, and Let Me In, I was able to push boundaries at a really young age. … Now that I’m able to get projects funded, curate scripts, and make movies, it means a lot to me to go against gender norms. My biggest thing now is making gender-equalizing movies, where you can put a male actor or a female actor in that role, and it would work the same way.
On her Twitter feud with Kim Kardashian:
I had just gotten off a plane from South Korea, I was incredibly jet-lagged, and I couldn’t take one more thing. I saw that photo, and I had to say something. That picture wasn’t linked to body confidence. It wasn’t a #BodyConfidence or #LoveWhoYouAre. It was done in a slightly voyeuristic light, which I felt was a little inappropriate for young women to see. … I would hate for young women to feel they need to post certain photos in order to gain likes, retweets, favorites, and male attention.… I wasn’t slut-shaming. It’s not about body shaming.
I started laughing. I was at dinner with my family [when] I got the notification [on my phone]. I look at it and I go, “Oh my God. She responded.” My mom took the most offense to it because it was girl-on-girl hate and Kim didn’t come back with an educated response on body confidence. It was aggressive, and also it was incorrect. I don’t have 45 million followers or a TV show that follows my life. But people know who I am. I pride myself on having opinions, and I don’t express them in snarky ways toward people.
On feminism:
I was uneducated on the word feminism because I wasn’t an adult in a lot of ways. I hadn’t dealt with the amount of adversity that I deal with now, especially in business. I’ve traveled more. I’ve been part of different cultures and [heard about] what it means to be a minority young woman in this country and other countries. I’ve read more, experienced more. It’s kind of an evolution. So now, for me, feminism means equality for people of all genders, races, and economic situations. But at the same time, I never really thought that feminism was about hating men; I was afraid that people would view me that way.
