More quotes by 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
I've always really been interested in the Pygmalion myth and both what it has to say about creativity and what it has to say about relationships between men and women.
Zoe Kazan
I hate going to bed. I read scripts, clean, listen to the radio - I've fallen asleep to 'This American Life' more times than I can count!
Zoe Kazan
I've gotten incredibly lucky with the people I've gotten to work with. It's made my mind better, and it's made me a better person.
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 think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.
Zoe Kazan
And then the really awful thing is that at the end of the day after crying and experiencing things, then you look at what you've written and you're like, 'Hmm, there's half a page that's good here.' Then you throw out everything else.
Zoe Kazan
When I'm writing, I look like a fool because the parts are moving through me and I'm crying and laughing and making faces.
Zoe Kazan
I'm not that interested in writing for myself. That's not where my impetus as a writer comes from.
Zoe Kazan
Well, I have a sister that I'm very close with, and that relationship is probably the most intense relationship of my life to date, probably of my life, period.
Zoe Kazan
If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.
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 think from my earliest childhood, I liked to tell stories, put on plays and write things. It's funny to think of it as an artistic bug because I didn't necessarily want to be an artist. It's just who I was and how I communicate.
Zoe Kazan
I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.
Zoe Kazan
I'm always disappointed after an audition when I don't get a part and I hear, Oh, she was too X, or too Y, and it's too much of a quality.
Zoe Kazan
Too often in the theatre people can't wait for intermission to get some chocolate or something. But with Come Back, Little Sheba I just hope people leave feeling like they've spent a really good two-hours in that house with us.
Zoe Kazan
I have a sister that I'm very close with, and that relationship is probably the most intense relationship of my life to date, probably of my life, period. I think that when you're close with a sibling, especially a sister, it's a relationship unlike any other.
Zoe Kazan
I was really surprised when I started working and realized that you're actually on your own, a lot of the time. It makes you really responsible, as an actor.
Zoe Kazan
Every piece of writing I've done has been something where I feel like I need to get this out of me, whether it's a seed of something personal or an anxiety that turns into a play or an image that's in my mind and haunts me that I'm trying to investigate.
Zoe Kazan
I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.
