Mena Suvari is featured in the Spring 2012 issue of Boston Common Magazine.
In the issue Mena talks about her close bond with her dad, Ando a psychiatrist:
“I am my father’s daughter—I’ve always loved examining the human condition. I’m definitely attracted to things that are deep, dark, and heavy. Taking on these challenges, I’ve learned and discovered so much about myself in the process.”
She also talks being comfortable with herself:
“It’s taken years to get to know myself. I had never really taken time to cultivate who I was. I’ve felt drained by it. But I feel like I’m really, finally, content at this point in my life. I’m accepting of who I am and how diverse I am and honoring that. All of it.”
Her new film American Reunion releases April 6.
