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.

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.

I was a vegetarian for a really long time, from 7 to 23, so I feel like some things aren't that weird but they seem weird to me, like blood sausage or snails. Those are things I've eaten now that, years ago, it would have been totally improbable that I would have eaten.

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.

If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.
Zoe Kazan
Image
I love to act and that's sort of my first love. That's what I started out doing.
Zoe Kazan
Image
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
Image
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.

I think most actors jump at the chance to do something where the camera's on them all the time.

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.

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.

I stopped Googling myself a long time ago. I'm sure there's plenty of misinformation out there, but I am blissfully unaware of it.

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'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.

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.
