Hannah Horvath (Girls)
OccupationAspiring writer

Something I could not live without
Marlboros
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My education. To master the art of the book report you just take any novel, no matter when it was written, and you argue that the main character is a latent homosexual. I don’t want to sit in a lecture that teaches me how to modify algorithms instead of thinking for myself. Great things don’t happen in tiny little increments; they happen when someone thinks completely differently, and all you geniuses…you’re just modifying algorithms.
