I'm very protective; it's in my wiring.

I love seeing blank days in my calendar.

I feel that too much singing annoys people.

I'm a major breath person, so I always have gum, mints.

I am in the fortunate-enough position where I can be picky.

I want to play a villain. I want to play a romantic heroine.

I'd be worried about myself as a human if I hadn't been nervous.

I am traditional: a big note writer, and I like using the phone.

Even when I was a child, my best friend was a 92-year-old woman.

I was only allowed only to watch public television until I was 12 years old.

My mom has beautiful eyes, and I inherited a lot of her rituals, accentuating eyes.

It's safe to say I'm a comedy nerd. I listen to so many podcasts. I just love to laugh.

To try and to pretend that there's no difference between where we come from is so dumb.

I am private because I'm still figuring things out. I'm young! I'm making it up as I go!

I do not want to ask people to go consume something unless I think it is important in some way.

Worst advice? I either don't remember it or I've been very lucky in terms of getting good advice.

As an actor, I love the feeling of being on set and the camaraderie of working on something together.

I would prefer to keep my clothes on. Unless there's a brisk breeze or something, I tend to keep them on.

'Girls' was my first audition. I'd just taken an audition class, and I was excited to implement those tools.

I've been dumped hard. My heart has been broken and shattered, and I've also been on the other end of that too.

I try to always have a hair cut that I don't have to style every day, so I'll usually just let my hair air dry.

I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.

The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.

A lot of guys I know loved Sex and the City. They’ll take it to their grave, but they watched every episode of it.

I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.

A lot of guys I know loved 'Sex and the City.' They'll take it to their grave, but they watched every episode of it.

I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing - as close to perfect as it gets!

It's a normal thing for people to do, going on Facebook and seeing pictures of their exes with their new significant others.

The idea of a young girl who knows exactly what she wants with her life is the most threatening and unappealing thing you can imagine.

I love making people uncomfortable, and when people say, 'I cringed watching [that] scene,' that's the biggest compliment you can give me.

It's very weird waking around a corner and being nose to nose with myself on the side of a bus. And Times Square - that's the craziest one.

I know what I'm like when I don't have a project coming up, and that's the mode I'm almost more comfortable in. That's when I get really scrappy and creative.

I'm an obsessive musical theatre person, so some of the most formative albums for me were, you know, the 'Phantom Of The Opera' soundtrack or 'Into The Woods.'

There are lots of things about me that aren't like the rest of my friends. But I try to learn as much about millennials as I can so I can stay afloat among them.

I have a doughnut every morning. The same kind, from a street cart. Vanilla frosted with sprinkles on one half, weirdly. How hard is it to sprinkle the whole thing?

I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. Between homework and sports and drama and being social, I slept about four hours a night through high school and college.
