	I'm a big Aqua fan. 'Barbie Girl' was a big deal growing up.

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

	In order to have skin that glows and looks healthy and actually is healthy, you need to look at the whole picture and have a holistic approach to it. A lot of it is exercising regularly, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, and keeping stress down.

	I've done so many funny jobs. I worked at a farmer's market through high school. I worked in the stock room of Ralph Lauren. I graduated to salesperson at Ralph Lauren, which was a big deal to me. I've been a P.A. I've been a stand-in. I've been an assistant's assistant.

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

	I am traditional: a big note writer, and I like using the phone.   
- 
	
	I'm a master assembler of Ikea furniture, in case anyone wants to know.

	Everyone wants to feel like they were the one and only person that the other person could ever fall in love with.

	I told my parents I wanted to be an actress years before I wrapped my head around what my dad did for a living. It's not easy to explain the job of the television journalist, especially when a lot of my friends' dads had jobs that were a lot easier to explain, like a lawyer, a banker or a doctor.

	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.

	We live in the Facebook era. I think everyone, not just celebrities, have an unprecedented level of self-awareness, of presenting yourself to the world. The truth is, it starts with how you look, and that goes into how you dress.   
- 
	
	I don't want to be any more interesting than I am. I love the life that I get to live, which is one of real independence and privacy and autonomy.   
- 
	
	I can rap. Not openly in the world, but it's important that people know! I can rap for a very specific reason, which is that in college I was in an improv comedy group, and we did musical improv.

	We're just a big media family. My mom is always sending us articles throughout the day. My husband now works at Facebook... so it's just a very high-paced media culture, our texts. It's links and photos, and all hours of the day, because my dad, my brother, and I are night owls, and my mom and my husband wake up early.

	Trying to imagine what it's like to be someone else is never a substitute for actually living that way, for acknowledging the respect that we need to have for each other's experiences.

	As an actor, I love the feeling of being on set and the camaraderie of working on something together.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	To try and to pretend that there's no difference between where we come from is so dumb.   
- 
	
	Showing 'Get Out' to a room full of strangers and having them react lets them be introspective and see the way certain images affect other people.   
- 
	
	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 do not want to ask people to go consume something unless I think it is important in some way.   
- 
	
	My mom has beautiful eyes, and I inherited a lot of her rituals, accentuating eyes.   
- 
	
	I would never tell someone else how to use their platform, because I think I'm much more comfortable allowing the work that I do to speak for itself.   
- 
	
	I don't understand how some of these young actresses are wearing such provocative, editorial items, when they haven't even established a career yet. It's hard to see past that. I'm not so sure that's smart in the long run.
