Zitat des Tages von Alia Shawkat:

I grew up in Palm Springs, California, which is a suburb like a desert town, and I love it.

It would be great to do theater one day, but I don't think I'd do a musical.

When I get a new script my mom will read them and just be aghast. I think it's hysterical.

Yeah, I've worked with a couple of female directors, now, and I think that they're amazing. As good or better than guy directors.

I was born and grew up in Palm Springs. It's a great place to grow up, a real small town.

With independent film, as an actor, you have more involvement - it's very much more connected. It's not just like I'm showing up and there's another actor on the call sheet; you're very attached to it.

There are definitely a lot of roles I didn't get based off of the way I look, but I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm going to write stories for myself or work with filmmakers who want to tell stories about real people.

Alia Shawkat

I would do a movie musical.

Alia Shawkat

I've been reading scripts where they've been doing a lot of singing now, but within the dark, realistic story line. I would love, love, love, love to do that. But not a musical on Broadway, I don't have that kind of energy or stamina.

I got to work with Eli Vargas. Great guy. Huge in Spain. He's a heartthrob there. Who else? Terry Crews - he was really funny.

Mitch Hurwitz was like a father figure to me. He was so sweet, and he's just so smart.

I go into work and get my hair and makeup done, go into wardrobe. I have to do three hours of school a day.

I'm more verbal and not as private as I was as a kid. I still do a form of sense memory. It honestly depends on the job. It depends on the other people you're working with, how the other actor works.

Alia Shawkat

We're not going to dumb down for them. They have to move up. They're the network and we're the show.

The millennial generation wants to express every feeling to feel like you're connected to it, and there's something very dark about tragedy that people are drawn to.

I hope to be painting more and travelling. Maybe fall in love. Have a dog one day. You know, all the good things.

When I was in New York, I put together a show; I put together this really great band and performed at this place called Littlefield in Brooklyn. It was really fun. I did, like, 10 standards, and then I just hopped around different bars like Mona's and different jazz clubs in New York just singing because I know all the standards so well.

As an actress, you never know when you're going to work again - and there's so much dependency on working.

Alia Shawkat
