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.

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.

I haven't found it to be particularly enjoyable... ninety percent of the time when I go on dates, I'm thinking, 'I could be reading my book instead.'

I would have been miserable in college. I always hated school.

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

Give me an 18-hour day on set or in the theater, and I will be the happiest person alive.

We kept the old male ideas of success: power and money. We need new ones!
