Image
I don't feel like I have a super straightforward relationship with the idea of fame. It makes me sort of level things out in my own brain almost immediately when I meet someone.
Zoe Kazan
Image
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
Image
I am proud and embarrassed by how incredibly self-confident I was in my late teens and early 20s. I know that there were other things going on, too, but I had an overwhelming belief in myself. Like I said, I'm embarrassed by it and proud of it.
Zoe Kazan
Image
I think for acting on stage and in film, one informs the other. Obviously, they require really different kinds of discipline and really different kinds of work. It's more along the same continuum, for me.
Zoe Kazan
Image
Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.
Zoe Kazan
Image
I'm used to very low-budget situations. In 'The Exploding Girl,' we were literally changing in Starbucks because we didn't have trailers.
Zoe Kazan
Image
I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
Zoe Kazan
Image
I think most actors jump at the chance to do something where the camera's on them all the time.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I quite enjoy a high-waisted cotton panty.
Zoe Kazan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.
Zoe Kazan
Image
I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.
Zoe Kazan
Image
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
Image
I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.
Zoe Kazan
Image
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.
