More quotes by Alia Shawkat

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'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
Alia Shawkat
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
Alia Shawkat
It's nice when you get to leave and travel and be busy and then come home.

I want to do film and TV. I want to make good stories. I want to write I want to be more involved.

As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.

You don't want to not be single because you're scared of being single.
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.
