I don't feel like it's a time to be shy about raising my voice, and I don't think that the things I'm raising my voice about should be alienating. If it's alienating to a fan base, then I'm not responsible for that.

More quotes by 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
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 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
I grew up with my grandfather [Elia Kazan] being famous in a way that's not like Beyoncé, but famous in a relative way. It made me feel weird about the way that we treat people that are famous, and it made me feel weird about fame in general.
Zoe Kazan
I think even probably the people we look up to the most, and think are on the Mount Olympus of actors - they're still experiencing nervousness.
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 think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.
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
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 don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.
Zoe Kazan
I do not do my own taxes. It's too many forms. Here are my 70,000 forms. I have no idea.I would be in jail.
Zoe Kazan
I've definitely gotten to work with female directors, and I feel lucky because of that. I just feel like more voices should be represented.
Zoe Kazan
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.
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
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
I would not wear any clothes that had a brand name on them, and I only read books that were canonical.
Zoe Kazan
I think a large part of an actor's job in preparation is just making the words feel organic to them, and obviously they came out of me, so they felt organic to me already. And then I think then it was all about clearing away all the other voices.
Zoe Kazan
What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.
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
If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.
