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
I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
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 more verbal and not as private as I was as a kid.

You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
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 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
The main thing I got from growing up in a suburb is the boredom you have as a child.
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
I've been single for so long that I'm scared of being in a relationship.
Alia Shawkat
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
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
As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.
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.
Alia Shawkat
It is important to be involved in everything.
Alia Shawkat
American shows can go on for 20 years. I respond more to the British format. Three seasons is a long run for them to tell a story.
