Elle Magazine interviews Williams about her weight in the film Girls and if she would consider loosing weight for a role.

I cut off my hair twice. It was in high school, and a boy that I had a crush on said, ‘You’ve lost your aura.’ It was, to this day, the most offensive thing anyone’s ever said to me. And it was before extensions were everywhere, and I just had to muscle through it.

Williams appears on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Glamour magazine. She talks about her future goals, when she will start a family, and why she hasn’t done a movie yet.

The number of scripts that take my breath away are few and far between. There are some that are gorgeous, but I want to play all the male roles in them. I always ask, and I’m always told no.
