More quotes by 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.

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.

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.
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.

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'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
Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all.... Everybody really, really likes everybody else.

If you meet a girl who has slept with 100 guys, you will think something of her you wouldn't think of a guy who slept with 100 girls.
Lizzy Caplan
I find that break-ups are so much easier when you can hate the person.

Don't peak in high school.

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
There is a certain expectation of girls to eventually grow up and behave and fall in line. I've always bucked against that.

In fact, the first time I ever got naked on TV was the biggest confidence booster of my life.

When you get seen in one particular way, it can be paralyzing. You start to believe it's all you can do.
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.

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.
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 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 feel lucky because most of my friends aren't married. So I don't feel that, 'oh, step on it, you're thirty.'
Lizzy Caplan
You'd be surprised. Girls like sensitive, namby-pamby guys.
