I always say that I can play sort of six variations on one girl, all of whom are a variation on me. Maybe I'll think of myself as an actor if, like, I do a corset drama.

The only time I felt like a weird exploiter - even though I knew I wasn't one - was when I was writing a sex scene between me and my adorable co-star [Adam Driver] in which he had to tell me how much he loved my potbelly. It seemed like a weird wish-fulfillment thing, where I'm directing my own fantasy.

Part of being a feminist is giving other women the freedom to make choices you might not necessarily make yourself.

The people accusing me of being productive don't know how hard it is for me to just bend my elbow sometimes.

It's funny, I never considered that people are going to see me on the show and maybe stop me on the subway.

I have to take my shoes off, you guys.

I'm glad if my work can make a difference.
