Quote

My grandmother told me: We all dated lots of different boys because no one was having sex or kissing. It was just going out for sodas and getting to know people. It didn't seem like there was a threat. I think now we have more ideas of people having premarital and unprotected sex.

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

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.

I've worked with a lot of really famous people. It stops being weird really quickly. For me, at least.

Image
I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.

Image
I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.

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
Sometimes I feel that the people I'm writing are more real to me than the people around me. When you take that imaginative leap, you're living so much in that world.

On a personal level, just for me in my own work, I would say the most interesting thing has been getting to work with the people that I've worked with.

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.

Half the fun is getting to play dress-up and imagine what it's like to be this other person. If you're not excited about a part where you get to use your imagination, then what's the point in doing it? It'll be just another job. Also, Director Michael Pressman and I see eye-to-eye with Marie.

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
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.

Nothing's going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it.

In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.

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.

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.

I never wanted to be a playwright.

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.

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.

I just don't care that much about how famous I am. I care a lot about our world, and whether our planet will survive. It seems really low-stakes how many Twitter followers I have, in the grand scheme of things. In 80 years, who will care?
