It's weird, not to sound too actor but I think that any time you do a performance, you kind of take a little piece of that character, cause it's a part of you you're using.

More quotes by Alia Shawkat
Let's not get too comfortable with each other.
Alia Shawkat
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 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
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
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
When you focus on life, on enjoying and connecting with other people, that's when work comes. When you focus on work, you can never work. I'm always going through waves of that.
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
As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.
Alia Shawkat
It's nice when you get to leave and travel and be busy and then come home.
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
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 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 main thing I got from growing up in a suburb is the boredom you have as a child.
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
I'm more verbal and not as private as I was as a kid.
Alia Shawkat
I'm lucky right now because I'm not that famous, people will look at the work just as the work, and people respond to it pretty well. It's just hard to know exactly what group I need to meet and where I need to be. I think fame helps, but I want it to be separate as much as it can. Fame is just so weird, people just love famous people.
Alia Shawkat
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
Alia Shawkat
I've been single for so long that I'm scared of being in a relationship.
Alia Shawkat
I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
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
