Lizzy Caplan Quotes

• I think there’s something very lovely and hilarious about exploring the particular neuroses of the female mind. It’s just not the same thing with men. I mean, there are exceptions, but for the most part, women beat themselves up in their heads more. They overanalyze stuff far more than men do.

• I’m still waiting to hit it big. But there was the moment when I didn’t have to work at the restaurant anymore, which is the milestone for every actor. When your job is just to be an actor and not to have to do anything else.

• I don’t think you should be allowed to eat in a restaurant if you haven’t waited tables at least once. It’s so irritating when I see people being rude to waiters, like, it makes me want to slit their throats! Like, really? You’re really this inconsiderate?

• I never get recognized for ‘Mean Girls.’ I can be walking around with Daniel Franzese, who’s in the movie and a friend of mine, and people will come up to him and start freaking out and have no idea who I am.

• I’m really awkward when people recognize me. I’m not good at it, and for the most part it hadn’t happened to me until ‘True Blood,’ and then, all of a sudden, it started happening all the time.

• ‘Party Down’ is the most fun I’ve ever had working in my life. We shoot 10-episode seasons and we shoot it in 10 weeks, so it’s very brief: 4-day episode shoots. You never get sick of anybody, and it never feels like a drag. It’s way, way, way too short.

• When you’re shooting a network television show it inevitably starts airing a few episodes in, and depending on the ratings and the response from the public, you find yourself tweaking your performance or the scripts go in a different direction.

• There’s definitely a luxury to the fluidity of not being a mega-star. I’ve done a ton of really, really odd, off-the-wall movies. There’s this movie I did called ‘Queens of Country’ a couple of summers ago that is so bananas, and if I was at a certain level, I probably would not have done that movie.

• For the past few years, I’ve been more selective than I have any right to be, but I think that’s finally starting to work in my favor. I think I get way too much credit for making what people consider to be smart choices, but it’s only because I made a decision to stop worrying about making money.

• I really unfortunately don’t have tons of hilarious Sundance stories, because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out, but the reason why is because I never go see other people’s movies and I think that’s the way to do it.

• ‘Save the Date’ feels like a quiet story about two sisters and the men in their lives, kind of reminiscent of the quieter rom-coms of the 1990s; it’s very character-driven and not as wedding-focused.

• Had ‘Bridesmaids’ not ended up being so amazing and successful, we would never have been able to make ‘Bachelorette.’ So we are in awe of ‘Bridesmaids’ and totally owe them so much.

• I think it’s necessary to identify with anything – with any character you play, there’s got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it’s like one tiny thing. But it’s equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.

• You’d be surprised. Girls like sensitive, namby-pamby guys.

• It’s weird, It’s really weird to be called a breakout star. And some people are referring to my show as the new ‘Friends’, which I can’t really even wrap my head around.

• I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I’ve played, but I think I’m pretty similar to the character I’m playing now. The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks and Geeks Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl.

• I think being mean to people in high school is healthy. It’s sort of like you’re in this situation with all these other kids and sometimes you need to get your aggression out. And if you’d had people be mean to you before, it really does build character.

• I had a bat mitzvah, was confirmed, went to Jewish summer camp, I go to temple for the High Holy Days. I think, like most people in their early 20s, I kind of strayed away from it. I think once I have a family I’ll be back into it.

• Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We’re all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all… . Everybody really, really likes everybody else.
