NY Magazine: It must have seemed like a big shift to work on Exploding Girl right after Revolutionary Road

Zoe Kazan: If you’re making a movie you believe in, it all sort of feels the same. My job as an actor doesn’t change very much. I’m doing this Nancy Meyers movie right now, and there are people checking my makeup and hair every five seconds, and trailers, and all these great outfits. On Exploding Girl, we had no trailers, we were changing in bathrooms at Starbucks. They bought me one T-shirt, but other than that I wore all my own clothes. So if cushiness is important, then yeah, they’re really different. But as an actor, Exploding Girl is just a more bare-bones version of what I love doing.
