More quotes by Zoe Kazan
I don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.
Zoe Kazan
I've definitely gotten to work with female directors, and I feel lucky because of that. I just feel like more voices should be represented.
Zoe Kazan
When we do something we're not proud of, a lot of people don't want to look at that, people may say what people don't know won't hurt them.
Zoe Kazan
I am very much in the instant-gratification camp. I am too much of an actor not to be. I am used to doing my work and having someone comment immediately. So I think that I'm a little hooked on that gratification structure.
Zoe Kazan
When my sister decided that she wanted to act, I was so nervous for her. She's doing great, but I have a lot of friends at every level of success as an actor, and we all go through periods of time where they feel like their worth isn't within their own control. That's a horrible feeling for an adult to have.
Zoe Kazan
I would not wear any clothes that had a brand name on them, and I only read books that were canonical.
Zoe Kazan
I guess I always like being asked questions about influence or inspiration, like, What are you reading? Who are your heroes? Is there any one person you want to shout out to now? I really love paying it forward with love and attention, because that's what I like to read.
Zoe Kazan
My hero is Michelle Williams, who I grew close to when we did 'Meek's Cutoff.' She's an extraordinary actor and mom.
Zoe Kazan
I read a lot of plays as a kid, but I didn't see that many plays, so I feel better-versed in film history and film structure. I just think it's easier to think in pictures.
Zoe Kazan
I feel lucky to receive such critical attention and praise when you're in a show that's going to last a month, it's just easier when audiences are more receptive. I've done two new shows this year, so I'm always excited to work on something a little older, traditional and structured.
Zoe Kazan
I do not do my own taxes. It's too many forms. Here are my 70,000 forms. I have no idea.I would be in jail.
Zoe Kazan
What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.
Zoe Kazan
There's part of me that's grateful for the delusion, because it takes a very hard shell to get started as an actor, and I don't have a very hard shell.
Zoe Kazan
I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.
Zoe Kazan
I never wanted to be a playwright.
Zoe Kazan
Nothing's going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it.
Zoe Kazan
I think the written word is my first love. I was just a very imagination - centered child and a big part of that imaginary life came from reading.
Zoe Kazan
There aren't a lot of movies being made about women, period. Most of the time, the roles that are available are the sidekick, the friend, the girlfriend or the wife, and they just aren't that interesting.
Zoe Kazan
There are a lot of words that I knew first as a reader, and I never put the pieces together in my brain. The word segue I thought was pronounced seeg, I think until I went to college, which is horribly embarrassing.
Zoe Kazan
When I would get close on a part but wouldn't get it, I would be like, They made a mistake, which is not how I think about things now. I both admire it and I'm grateful for the modicum of health, knowledge, and humility that I have acquired over the last 10 or 15 years.
Zoe Kazan
