I think it's necessary to identify with anything - with any character you play, there's got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it's like one tiny thing. But it's equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.
Lizzy CaplanOn True Blood โ I've never told anybody thisโbut I was so nervous and I was so drunk that after I shot the scene I was going up to the crew members โ and I had just met all these people the day before โ and I was going up to all of them like, 'You got a boner! You do! You've got one!' It was horrible. Horrible!
Lizzy CaplanI'm really awkward when people recognize me. I'm not good at it, and for the most part it hadn't happened to me until 'True Blood,' and then, all of a sudden, it started happening all the time.
Lizzy CaplanIf you meet a girl who has slept with 100 guys, you will think something of her you wouldn't think of a guy who slept with 100 girls.
Lizzy CaplanI think there's something very lovely and hilarious about exploring the particular neuroses of the female mind. It's just not the same thing with men. I mean, there are exceptions, but for the most part, women beat themselves up in their heads more. They overanalyze stuff far more than men do.
