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.

More quotes by 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
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
And I think the female creative urge is intrinsically biologically linked to our ability to give birth to a child, even if we've never... I've never given birth, but I feel like it's part of our psychology.
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
I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.
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.
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
It's a good thing I learned some humility and perspective as I got older.
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
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 feel like a lot of my work on stage, I've gotten to play a wider range of characters than I have on film. This feels closer to who I am than stuff I've played on stage, or, like, Olive Kitteridge.
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 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 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
There aren't a lot of movies being made about women, period. Most of the time, the roles that are available are the sidekick, the friend, the girlfriend or the wife, and they just aren't that interesting.
Zoe Kazan
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?
Zoe Kazan
I quite enjoy a high-waisted cotton panty.
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 find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.
Zoe Kazan
There are a lot of words that I knew first as a reader, and I never put the pieces together in my brain. The word segue I thought was pronounced seeg, I think until I went to college, which is horribly embarrassing.
Zoe Kazan
