What's amazing about the show ["Girls"] - the first (season) is about the girls and then the second (season) is about the boys as well. There's something so human about it.

I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants. We want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position. And I think it's important to talk about it.... It's brave of those women to come forward and make a point about it. Now younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions with their agents and be able to say, "Can we make sure that I'm being paid the right amount for the work that I'm doing?"

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.

I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.
