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'm a little bit of a weirdo - I'm kind of a loner, I didn't go to college, I spend a lot of my time reading. I've been working since I was 17, so that's sort of been my life.

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

I did 'Mad Men' and I still have people come up to me like, 'Are you actually a lesbian?' Really? Just because I play one on TV? People will think what they're gonna think.

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 am a private human.

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