“As cheesy as it sounds, it’s like the family that we’ve created on this show is so close knit, and it’s so emotional to say goodbye to spending every single day together and creating new adventures for these characters.” - Lena Dunham, “Hannah Horvath” 
 
 “I hope people feel compassion for her. I think more people than we realize can relate to what she goes through, I just encourage people to feel the love. It’s a great Marnie season, I’m really happy about it.” - Allison Williams, “Marnie Michaels” 
 
 “I’m going to miss getting to explore her more and refine it, and change her and watch her change.” - Jemima Kirke, “Jessa Johansson” 
 
 
 
 “I think I’m going to miss her, more than I’m going to miss playing her, if that makes sense. She’s really the only part I’ve ever played that I’ve thought of as her own entity and I think it’s probably because I’ve spent so many years playing the same part. But I’m going to miss the fact that once the show goes to bed she goes to bed and she’s no longer a part of my life. And I think I’m just going to miss her presence in my life.” - Zosia Mamet, “Shoshanna Shapiro” 
 
 “It was a very happy group. Even though there was a lot of controversy swirling around the show all the time the show itself was very calm and fun… I hope we’ve shown how some people evolve, and some people evolve less.” - Judd Apatow, GIRLS Executive Producer 
– In a move that seems fairly out of character, HBO is putting the first two episodes of Girls' third season—which just aired last night—on the HBO YouTube page, where anyone can watch them for free as of 10am today. Why? The show's audience is very active online, and "for us, this is an increasingly challenging demographic to reach with traditional means," HBO's VP of social media and marketing tells Mashable. The network is reaching out in other ways, too: It has Snapchat and Tumblr accounts for Girls and an Instagram video series featuring Lena Dunham sharing her character Hannah Horvath's opinions. On Twitter, cast and crew members will be live-tweeting the show starting with episode three, and on Facebook, emojis are used to recap what each character has gone through.
