"I stopped wearing the nude patch after the first season of Girls. There's not one guy who works on that show who hasn't seen the inside of my vagina," she tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I used to wear this patch, but...This patch—you glue it over your vagina. It gets sweaty and always falls off. My male co-stars, at the end of the day, don't care... I never understand when people say, 'Sex scenes are so mechanical; it doesn't feel like anything.' It feels like someone f--king you! It's confusing."
"It's like running in the rain. There's a certain point where you go, 'F--k it, I'm already wet. I'm not going to get any less wet so I might as well enjoy how this feels,'" he tells Playboy of his onscreen romp with Kristen Wiig's character. "I mean, sure, there's an awkwardness about being in a weird flesh-colored thong, bouncing on top of an actress. And I am not a small human being. I weigh at least 200 pounds and I'm 6-foot-2. And Wiig is a twig; she's a skinny little thing. I told her, 'Just punch me in the side if I'm hurting you.' It's weird and uncomfortable at first but then all the awkwardness melts away and you think, 'All right, we're doing this, so let's have fun with it.'"
"It's brilliant. I actually went up to [co-creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss] and thanked them. I was like, 'That's a scene I've been waiting for!'" she tells Elle of her Season 4 tryst with Michael Huisman's character. "Because I get a lot of crap for having done nudes scenes and sex scenes. That, in itself, is so antifeminist. Women hating on other women is just the problem. That's upsetting, so it's kind of wonderful to have a scene where I was like, 'There you go!'"
"It's always pretty awkward when you have to take off your pants in front of the crew and other actors and all that stuff. During the scene, it's fine. You don't feel uncomfortable whilst the cameras are rolling," he tells E! News. "As soon as it's 'cut,' and you're standing around and you're in your underwear, chatting to the crew, that's when it's weird and uncomfortable."
"I remember lying on the floor in the bathroom...and I just wouldn't get up in-between takes," she tells W of the limited series' seventh episode. "I was just lying there, sort of broken and crying, and I remember at one point [director Jean-Marc Vallée] coming over and just sort of placing a towel over me because I was just lying there in half-torn underwear and just basically on the ground with nothing on and I was just, like [gasps]."
"When we were having sex, we were drunk—boy and girl drunk," he tells E! News of filming with Haley Bennett. "I thought we should have a little drink just to take the edge off. We were tipsy. We were show-tunes-singing-drunk while having fake sex. We sang Lion King."
"These are people who have no trouble taking their clothes off—in a way their bodies are their currency," she tells Vogue. "But they're terrified of exposing their vulnerability—of becoming emotionally naked."
"Basically, gay sex, especially for the first time, is really f--king painful. And [director John Krokidas] said that he had never seen that portrayed accurately on film before," he tells Flaunt of filming an intimate scene with Dane DeHaan. "He wanted it to look like an authentic loss of virginity.
"I am on the floor and my clothes are being ripped," she tells E! News of her onscreen romp with Colin Farrell's character. "I don't like it. I don't like it. To be honest, I'm like, 'Let's get this over with as fast as possible.' At least [director Sofia Coppola] was like, 'We're going to get this done quick. We're just gonna shoot it here, we'll do three takes, be done.'"
