“My grandmother told me: "We all dated lots of different boys because no one was having sex or kissing. It was just going out for sodas and getting to know people. It didn't seem like there was a threat." I think now we have more ideas of people having premarital and unprotected sex.” PeopleThinkingKnowsIdeasDifferentSeemsSexBoysKissingThreatGrandmotherGoing OutMy GrandmotherHaving SexSoda Author:Zoe Kazan
“A lot of what I've had produced are plays, and I just don't want to do that. It's different than a movie, where you only have to act the scenes the one time, and you have other collaborators helping you make it better, so you don't feel as obsessed with your own mind. Plays you have to do every single night, and the thought of that is agony to me. There are days when you hate your own work, and you don't want to be confronted with that, have it coming out of your mouth or listening to somebody else say it to you. There are days you want to leave the theater and get a drink.” MindDifferentHelpingNightHateListeningDrinkSceneObsessedHate You Author:Zoe Kazan
“Lena Dunham or Miranda July, those people are sort of thinking about their work in a slightly different way than I do, where their whole body is a seed of what they're creating. I can't imagine watching Miranda's movies with anybody else playing her role, she's so integral. But for me, it feels more like every story is really individual. If I thought of something else, or thought it should be my body representing it, I'd fold my body into it. But most of the time I'm writing to get something out of my body.” PeopleThinkingWritingDifferentIndividualImagineMiranda Author:Zoe Kazan
“I think for acting on stage and in film, one informs the other. Obviously, they require really different kinds of discipline and really different kinds of work. It's more along the same continuum, for me.” ThinkingKindDifferentFilmActingDisciplineDifferent Kinds Author:Zoe Kazan
