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

I am an avid reader! As for writing, I might - someday. But we'll have to wait and see.

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 think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing.

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

I had a very old woman come up to me on the subway and tell me that the faces that I made in the first episode when a guy is going down on me, that she still makes those faces when her husband goes down on her.

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