I feel so grateful when I see a movie and there's a woman who looks somewhat like me. I'm like, 'Thank you, Samantha Morton!' You know, a woman who feels like a human being. That means so much to me.

There's a rhythm to script [ in "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore"], as well, especially the pacing of it. But there definitely were times when I would say something and [ Macon Blair] would say, "I didn't think to deliver it like that" or, "I didn't think it had that meaning." And he'd say, "I like it. I think it's good." So he's open. He's not battering it into you.

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

I think filmmakers are always interested in getting the best actor that they can find, the person who's the most right for it.

Honestly, I think if I had to stop acting I'd be like, 'Well, I guess I have to go live in the mountains now.' I'd probably be a good assistant.

I was a kid who didn't have a lot of self-esteem.

The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.
