I’ve put on makeup just for fun since I was a really little girl. Now I keep a look book for inspiration – with hair, makeup, beauty tips and products to try. – Allison Williams
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. – Allison Williams
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. – Allison Williams
In real life, we do things out of character, constantly. A couple of days ago, my shoes were hurting, so I walked barefoot through New York. Someone who has known me my whole life would think that was so out of character. But I did it because of the circumstances. – Allison Williams
You don’t want to keep giving yourself a sugar spike and then crash and get exhausted and need coffee because you shoot for a long time. On set, I eat a lot of peanut butter and apples, things that have actual energy and protein in them to keep me going. – Allison Williams
I auditioned for ‘Girls’ the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing – as close to perfect as it gets! – Allison Williams
Look at Jennifer Aniston: She’s America’s sweetheart for a reason. You know what she’s going to look like when she shows up to something, and there’s something so comfortable about that. – Allison Williams
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. – Allison Williams
I’m drawn to what I’m drawn to. I wear jeans and loafers everyday, mostly casual, but when I really turn it on, I like a classic, simple look. – Allison Williams
I am not someone who thinks that a million products will mean that you’ll look perfect. – Allison Williams
I would prefer to keep my clothes on. Unless there’s a brisk breeze or something, I tend to keep them on. – Allison Williams
I’ve been dumped hard. My heart has been broken and shattered, and I’ve also been on the other end of that too. – Allison Williams
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.’ – Allison Williams
I’m so happy that I finished college. Going into this crazy vortex of scrutiny is tough. If I was younger than I was now and I was going to fashion shows, I might have this distorted sense of self. I might rely on those cameras. Because when I was 18, I was half-baked. – Allison Williams
I love Emma Watson’s makeup a lot. I love Cate Blanchett. I’m biased, though. I love my makeup artist, Julie Harris; she is really phenomenal, but everyone has their technique, and there are incredible-looking girls out there. – Allison Williams
It’s very weird waking around a corner and being nose to nose with myself on the side of a bus. And Times Square – that’s the craziest one. – Allison Williams
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.’ – Allison Williams
Actors are like Swiss Army knives – we’re ready to use any lever at any moment. But I learned long ago that, unfortunately, this industry only sees the one thing sticking out that they know us from, and that’s the only thing they can imagine. – Allison Williams
I think I’ve always had that bird’s-eye view of myself. I think it’s an actor trait… Sometimes it’s best just to get lost out there, but other times you have to be aware of where the light’s hitting you. – Allison Williams
I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn’t awkward looking at all. – Allison Williams
I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic. – Allison Williams
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. – Allison Williams
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. – Allison Williams
Everyone wants to feel like they were the one and only person that the other person could ever fall in love with. – Allison Williams
It’s safe to say I’m a comedy nerd. I listen to so many podcasts. I just love to laugh. – Allison Williams
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. – Allison Williams
I’ve wanted to act since I was little, but my parents told me I couldn’t pursue it until after college. The understanding was that I was lucky enough to be able to go to college and that it’s important to being successful in life. – Allison Williams
