Working on 'Girls' opened up a lot of opportunity for me. It's like a dream job. It's a dream. ”

The first job I got was this TV job in this show called 'The Unusuals.' Then I did a play called 'Slipping,' and at the same time I was rehearsing another play at Playwrights Horizons, and that kind of snowballed into a bunch of plays. ”
