Weird, but sometimes I feel more like my cartoon character than I do Lizzie because she's a little more edgy and snappy.

Chloe is really just like an exaggerated aspect of myself.

'Coronation Street' was my first job, Zoe was a controversial character, and I wasn't used to everyone looking at me.

All the characters on 'Girls' are growing and changing, which is how real people behave, especially when we're young, trying to figure out who we are, doing things that are the polar opposite of our characteristics.

Kids often ask me if characters are real or made up - and I always tell them, 'I hope they're real but I made them up.'

I just loved playing the mean girl. When you're not like a character, it's kind of fun to play.

I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.

I'm not in the business of meddling with people's destinies - and yes, my characters are real people to me. They have histories and thoughts and yearnings and hurts and misgivings and pleasures that don't belong to me.
