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.

More quotes by Alia Shawkat
It's nice when you get to leave and travel and be busy and then come home.
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 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
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
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
The words are ludicrous at times, but you add the reality to it and that gives it the balance it has.
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
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
Let's not get too comfortable with each other.
Alia Shawkat
The main thing I got from growing up in a suburb is the boredom you have as a child.
Alia Shawkat
You don't want to not be single because you're scared of being single.
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
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
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
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.
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 a huge TV person, but when I do watch, it's always after the fact because I like to binge watch.
Alia Shawkat
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
Alia Shawkat
I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.
Alia Shawkat
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.
