More quotes by Alia Shawkat
It's always nerve-wracking it's like going to a new school every time you start a new movie. There are so many people and you're trying to be comfortable and vulnerable on set in order to be fearless on camera. But it's fun, it's part of the job. You've just got to be very personable, I guess.
Alia Shawkat
I've been reading scripts where they've been doing a lot of singing now, but within the dark, realistic story line. I would love, love, love, love to do that. But not a musical on Broadway, I don't have that kind of energy or stamina.
Alia Shawkat
I want to do film and TV. I want to make good stories. I want to write I want to be more involved.
Alia Shawkat
You don't want to not be single because you're scared of being single.

Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.
Alia Shawkat
I've been single for so long that I'm scared of being in a relationship.
Alia Shawkat

Alia Shawkat
I still do a form of sense memory. It honestly depends on the job. It depends on the other people you're working with, how the other actor works. It's take a little from here, take a little from there.
Alia Shawkat
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
Alia Shawkat
I think how I've gotten better, hopefully, at taking what I've got and being able to mish-mash something together, and as long as it feels real to me in the moment, then it feels like a success.
Alia Shawkat
I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
Alia Shawkat
I'm more verbal and not as private as I was as a kid.
Alia Shawkat
I feel like when you're dealing with your main character, it has to be relatable and feel grounded, and that's the kind of acting I like to do anyway.
Alia Shawkat
I love being on movie sets. It's a very particular setting. And not all of the time, most of the time, there's always people you don't like, and you have to see them every day.
Alia Shawkat
The words are ludicrous at times, but you add the reality to it and that gives it the balance it has.
Alia Shawkat
Obviously the way people watch TV has changed so much, too, that it's not necessarily about the ratings anymore. There's a different kind of time lapse you put it out there and people absorb it at their speed, not just on Monday night at eight.
Alia Shawkat
I'm not a huge TV person, but when I do watch, it's always after the fact because I like to binge watch.
Alia Shawkat
I go into work and get my hair and makeup done, go into wardrobe. I have to do three hours of school a day.
