The most you play a character in the theater is, like, a couple months, and then you put it away.

Even on your hiatus, you feel like you need to keep the character in the back of your brain.

I'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.

I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.

With 'Girls'... I feel like there's an impulse to try to make it look better or neater or more perfect, and when I watch theater, television, movies, it's always the imperfection I'm always more attracted to.

I saw the pilot for 'Girls' about six months before it aired.
