I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.

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.

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.

Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
Alia Shawkat
Image
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.
Alia Shawkat
Image
I'm more verbal and not as private as I was as a kid.
Alia Shawkat
Image
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
Image
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
Image
As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.

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
Image
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.

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