More quotes by 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
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.
Zoe Kazan
We all have our essential nature. If you're good with numbers, you don't even know you're good with numbers because that's how your mind works.
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
And then the really awful thing is that at the end of the day after crying and experiencing things, then you look at what you've written and you're like, 'Hmm, there's half a page that's good here.' Then you throw out everything else.
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 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 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
So often you're asked to play impossibly perfect version of yourself on screen that it's nice to get to bring in those parts that you think aren't as worth looking at.
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 took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.
Zoe Kazan
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
I'm pretty sure I ate ants in Mexico.
Zoe Kazan
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
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
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.
Zoe Kazan
I've worked with a lot of really famous people. It stops being weird really quickly. For me, at least.
Zoe Kazan
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
If I was born into a household with anxiety about money, I wouldn't have had as much freedom to be in my own world. So it's impossible for me to divorce the privilege of my childhood from the other things.
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.
