People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.

More quotes by Zosia Mamet
I grew up backstage and on movie sets, and I thought they were the most magical places on Earth.
Zosia Mamet
But my father was also the one who told me I needed to clean up my mouth or I'd never find a man. What's very important to him is manners. Show up on time. Always send thank-you letters. He is one of the more thoughtful humans I've ever met. He's a great man and a very good dad.

The lighthearted moments of 'Girls' are really not speckled throughout and that to me is just super exciting, to be able to delve into the darkness that you are greeted with in your early 20s and the fear and what that makes you do, the places that you can potentially go with that.

I am a private human.

I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing.

No matter what we as individual women want, no matter what our goals, we have to support one another.

I did 'Mad Men' and I still have people come up to me like, 'Are you actually a lesbian?' Really? Just because I play one on TV? People will think what they're gonna think.

Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.

Give me an 18-hour day on set or in the theater, and I will be the happiest person alive.

I don't watch much television. My old TV agent used to always get mad at me because he'd send me out on auditions and I'd be like, 'What's this show?' and he'd be like, 'It's literally the top show on television.' I wasn't allowed to watch TV as a kid.
Zosia Mamet
Success isn't about winning everything it’s about achieving your dream, be that teaching middle school or flying jets. And no matter what we as individual women want, no matter what our goals, we have to support one another.
Zosia Mamet
A lot of people in line at the grocery store think that they know me, but they don't.
Zosia Mamet
I am an avid reader! As for writing, I might - someday. But we'll have to wait and see.
Zosia Mamet
I think any actor in their right mind is afraid of getting pigeonholed.
Zosia Mamet
My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out.
Zosia Mamet
I would have been miserable in college. I always hated school.
Zosia Mamet
My mom was onstage when she was pregnant with me.

I don't know if I would call myself a religious human.

All the characters on 'Girls' are growing and changing, which is how real people behave, especially when we're young, trying to figure out who we are, doing things that are the polar opposite of our characteristics.
Zosia Mamet
I'm a little bit of a weirdo - I'm kind of a loner, I didn't go to college, I spend a lot of my time reading. I've been working since I was 17, so that's sort of been my life.
