More quotes by Zosia Mamet

Zosia Mamet
I grew up backstage and on movie sets, and I thought they were the most magical places on Earth.
Zosia Mamet
We kept the old male ideas of success: power and money. We need new ones!
Zosia Mamet
I am a private human.
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
My mom was onstage when she was pregnant with me.
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
No matter what we as individual women want, no matter what our goals, we have to support one another.

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.
Zosia Mamet

People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.
Zosia Mamet
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
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
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
Give me an 18-hour day on set or in the theater, and I will be the happiest person alive.
Zosia Mamet
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
A lot of people in line at the grocery store think that they know me, but they don't.
Zosia Mamet
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.
Zosia Mamet
I think any actor in their right mind is afraid of getting pigeonholed.
