More quotes by Zoe Kazan
I had a real feeling of being fated to be an actor and do my work, and I remember so much speaking up in a room full of people who authentically knew as much or more than me, and feeling like I was absolutely equal, and what I had to say was important.
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 mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.
Zoe Kazan
I'm not that interested in writing for myself. That's not where my impetus as a writer comes from.
Zoe Kazan
I never wanted to be a playwright.
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 think film writing, you're thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you're thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it's also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you have more leeway.
Zoe Kazan
I really love people. I love to meet people. I'm curious about people.
Zoe Kazan
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.
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
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
What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.
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 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
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.
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
I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.
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
I wouldn't wear makeup, and I didn't like to let boys open the door for me because I felt like it was sexist.
