Allison Williams

“I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.”

“I feel that too much singing annoys people.”

“I just have always been so interested in the way actors and actresses present themselves to the world because I think it is very important and it affects the way people see you as an actor.”

“I do not want to ask people to go consume something unless I think it is important in some way.”

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

“I'm not a dieter. I have the palate of a 7-year-old boy, although I'm working on it. I order off the kids' menu! I'm working hard to eat more fruit and veggies and round it all out, but I'm a big pretzels and Diet Coke kind of girl.”

“I'm an obsessive musical theatre person, so some of the most formative albums for me were, you know, the 'Phantom Of The Opera' soundtrack or 'Into The Woods.'”

“My dad keeps joking about sneaking into my grandparents' house and switching out their HBO for PBS so they think I'm on 'Downton Abbey.'”

“I was in character all the time when I was little.”

“My mom has beautiful eyes, and I inherited a lot of her rituals, accentuating eyes.”

“I try to always have a hair cut that I don't have to style every day, so I'll usually just let my hair air dry.”

“The blessing of having your first project be something as fantastic as 'Girls' is that it gave me room to be selective because I didn't feel pressure to do other things. The curse is that my standards were really high.”

“I wake up every morning thinking I need to be edgier.”

“Worst advice? I either don't remember it or I've been very lucky in terms of getting good advice.”

“I was only allowed only to watch public television until I was 12 years old. I would come home from friends's houses with a list of demands. 'OK, We have all the wrong cereals. You guys are asleep on the job.'”

“I am traditional: a big note writer, and I like using the phone.”

“For cardio, I do SoulCycle. I really don't like to run, plus I have terrible knees and get bored on the elliptical. SoulCycle is basically a dance party on a bicycle, and you burn calories, and it's so fun.”

“I've been dumped hard. My heart has been broken and shattered, and I've also been on the other end of that too.”

“One of my favorite things to do is to play music really loud and dance my butt off in the morning. I'll do it alone in my apartment. You can't have a bad day after that.”

“A lot of guys I know loved 'Sex and the City.' They'll take it to their grave, but they watched every episode of it.”
