The acting life is different than I thought it would be. I love it - it's actually a lot less pressure than I thought it would be.

It's always nice for me to get to explore somebody who's feeling that and then does something with it and takes it in a different direction or does something with it. It feels very powerful. It helps me with my own.

I always like [while filming] to have a sense of what led this person to this point.

I was at university and I was studying modern drama and studying English, and I just was like, 'I don't wanna be in this place. I wanna be acting.'

I talked with [ Blair Macon] a lot. I always like to come up with it - sometimes the filmmaker is not into it at all.

I really like 'Girls.' I know everybody does, but I love 'Girls.

I guess I've never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.
