With 'Girls,' it doesn't really feel like I'm doing TV specifically. It just feels like we're making a really long film.

I have a ships bed, which totally plays to my obsession of, if I were not an actress, I would be a pirate.

For me, it's owning the fact that I have a sensitive disposition along with a rampant imagination that makes up stories and convinces me they're true. I feel things intensely, and that sometimes brings me on wave of profound sorrow.

No matter what we as individual women want, no matter what our goals, we have to support one another.

My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out.

Success isn't about winning everything; it’s about achieving your dream, be that teaching middle school or flying jets. And no matter what we as individual women want, no matter what our goals, we have to support one another.

I don't watch much television. My old TV agent used to always get mad at me because he'd send me out on auditions and I'd be like, 'What's this show?' and he'd be like, 'It's literally the top show on television.' I wasn't allowed to watch TV as a kid.
