I'm still waiting to hit it big. But there was the moment when I didn't have to work at the restaurant anymore, which is the milestone for every actor. When your job is just to be an actor and not to have to do anything else.

More quotes by Lizzy Caplan
There is a certain expectation of girls to eventually grow up and behave and fall in line. I've always bucked against that.
Lizzy Caplan
I wanted to see myself as something different, and I wanted to convince people that I was capable of something other than what they would expect from me.
Lizzy Caplan
I don't think you should be allowed to eat in a restaurant if you haven't waited tables at least once. It's so irritating when I see people being rude to waiters, like, it makes me want to slit their throats! Like, really? You're really this inconsiderate?
Lizzy Caplan
In fact, the first time I ever got naked on TV was the biggest confidence booster of my life.
Lizzy Caplan
I think it's necessary to identify with anything - with any character you play, there's got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it's like one tiny thing. But it's equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.
Lizzy Caplan
I find that working with friends is always the goal, even if it's just one person. Because the comedy community is kind of insular, it's easy to run into people you've worked with, even if you worked with someone on something for a day, or whatever. It just makes it more comfortable.
Lizzy Caplan
You'd be surprised. Girls like sensitive, namby-pamby guys.
Lizzy Caplan
For the past few years, I've been more selective than I have any right to be, but I think that's finally starting to work in my favor. I think I get way too much credit for making what people consider to be smart choices, but it's only because I made a decision to stop worrying about making money.
Lizzy Caplan
It's too scary in television. It's scary to sign a six-year contract for something that you don't necessarily know about.
Lizzy Caplan
It's refreshing, honestly, to be able to have more intellectual conversations about sex and the meaning of sex, and intimacy and what that means in relationships. As a person in the world, it's on your mind. It's a part of your life, after a certain age until you're dead. So, to be able to examine it in a different way is really fulfilling.
Lizzy Caplan
It's weird, It's really weird to be called a breakout star. And some people are referring to my show as the new 'Friends', which I can't really even wrap my head around
Lizzy Caplan
I really like doing television shows, and I anticipated doing a comedy, because thats the place I feel the most comfortable - those are the risks I want to take.
Lizzy Caplan
When you get seen in one particular way, it can be paralyzing. You start to believe it's all you can do.
Lizzy Caplan
There's definitely a luxury to the fluidity of not being a mega-star. I've done a ton of really, really odd, off-the-wall movies. There's this movie I did called 'Queens of Country' a couple of summers ago that is so bananas, and if I was at a certain level, I probably would not have done that movie.
Lizzy Caplan
I never get recognized for 'Mean Girls.' I can be walking around with Daniel Franzese, who's in the movie and a friend of mine, and people will come up to him and start freaking out and have no idea who I am.
Lizzy Caplan
I've been a feminist since the day I was born. I wanted to play football. I didn't want to play with dolls I wanted to play with boys and didn't understand why I couldn't.
Lizzy Caplan
I'm actually really proud of how I believe people perceive me in this industry. I worked really hard to be seen in a certain way. I think I get a lot of respect for what I usually do. I find that comedic world completely fulfilling and wonderful and they're all my best friends.
Lizzy Caplan
I was a Russian dancer in my elementary school production of Fiddler on the Roof when I was in third grade or fourth grade. I was one of the younger kids accepted into the play, and the plays were pretty impressive, let me say.
Lizzy Caplan
If I was on Game of Thrones, I think the nudity and sex questions would probably get irritating, but this is a show about sex.
Lizzy Caplan
I become an actress to do things that scare the sh*t out of me and I felt like I didn't stand a chance to get this part because people have preconceived notions about me, but if they gave me the part, I would do everything in my power to not screw it up.
