I'm used to very low-budget situations. In 'The Exploding Girl,' we were literally changing in Starbucks because we didn't have trailers.

More quotes by 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
I just went through my childhood attic with my sister. I'm not an expert, and I don't mean to put myself in that category, but thinking about Malcolm Gladwell and the 10,000 hours, I was like, Here are my 10,000 hours!
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 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
Part of the challenge of being a girl living in the 21st Century, looking back, the danger is to not judge your character by your own standards.
Zoe Kazan
I quite enjoy a high-waisted cotton panty.
Zoe Kazan
I think, a lot of times, directors assume that whatever they get from you the first time, whether it be at an audition or on set, is all that you can bring.
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
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
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
I love bad movies, whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.
Zoe Kazan
Most adults get to a point in their careers where they feel secure, where they have a body of work behind them that will ensure longevity, and for actors, it's just not like that. You're basically always a temp, going from job to job.
Zoe Kazan
I don't love the word quirky. I think it's a word that's a catchall. It's a word that doesn't stand in empathy with the person, it stands in judgment of them. It's a very externalized word.
Zoe Kazan
I really love people. I love to meet people. I'm curious about people.
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
I think most actors jump at the chance to do something where the camera's on them all the time.
Zoe Kazan
I don't think a lot of people are like, I'm just quirky! Or if they are, it's a stage they're going through as they figure out who they are. I never felt like I was choosing roles that were quirky.
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
Nothing's going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it.
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
