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.

I have a ships bed, which totally plays to my obsession of, if I were not an actress, I would be a pirate.
Zosia Mamet
We kept the old male ideas of success: power and money. We need new ones!

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 went to a strict elementary school with nuns, and uniforms that I'm pretty sure were made out of sandpaper. It was an academic, sports-oriented place. I liked to read, and wanted to act, and didn't try out for volleyball. I was weird. The other girls would dip my hair in ink and stuff.

For me, it's owning the fact that I have a sensitive disposition along with a rampant imagination that makes up stories and convinces me they're true. I feel things intensely, and that sometimes brings me on wave of profound sorrow.

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.

I think any actor in their right mind is afraid of getting pigeonholed.

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.

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

My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out.

With 'Girls,' it doesn't really feel like I'm doing TV specifically. It just feels like we're making a really long film.
Zosia Mamet
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.

A lot of people in line at the grocery store think that they know me, but they don't.
Zosia Mamet
Give me an 18-hour day on set or in the theater, and I will be the happiest person alive.

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

I had a very old woman come up to me on the subway and tell me that the faces that I made in the first episode when a guy is going down on me, that she still makes those faces when her husband goes down on her.
Zosia Mamet
I haven't found it to be particularly enjoyable... ninety percent of the time when I go on dates, I'm thinking, 'I could be reading my book instead.'
Zosia Mamet
I am an avid reader! As for writing, I might - someday. But we'll have to wait and see.

I would have been miserable in college. I always hated school.
