Zitat des Tages von Zoe Kazan:
I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.
And when I get bored, it's like the worst parts of me come out. I really veer to self-destructive tendencies quickly.
I don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.
Sometimes I feel that the people I'm writing are more real to me than the people around me. When you take that imaginative leap, you're living so much in that world.
I've always really been interested in the Pygmalion myth and both what it has to say about creativity and what it has to say about relationships between men and women.
When I'm writing, I look like a fool because the parts are moving through me and I'm crying and laughing and making faces.
I think film writing, you're thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you're thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it's also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you have more leeway.
I really love people. I love to meet people. I'm curious about people.
In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.
I hate going to bed. I read scripts, clean, listen to the radio - I've fallen asleep to 'This American Life' more times than I can count!
I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.
I think most actors jump at the chance to do something where the camera's on them all the time.
I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.
