I used to like to make myself sad, so I would listen to Bill Callahan as Smog.
— Gillian Jacobs
No one in my school liked me.
I love discovering new young brands and watching these fashion lines take off, like Peter Pilotto, Christopher Kane, and Clover Canyon.
A lot of my friends are guys, so I'm used to bro antics.
No actor wants to choose - they just want all of the options available to them all the time; we tend to be pretty greedy.
I never pursued anything but acting. But as a kid, I was really interested in the Supreme Court. I wanted to to be a Supreme Court justice, but didn't want to be a lawyer. I just wanted to go straight to being a justice.
When I was younger, I was very vocal to the point of being strident in my views.
We're all slight hypocrites who fall short of our ideals.
As you become an adult and start to make your way in life, you realize how much your friends are your family - though you get to make fun of your friends, too.
NBC gives comedies a chance to find their legs.
I never thought I would be in a comedic role; my past is in drama.
I had some years of definite frustration. Auditioning and not working as much as I would have liked to, or working and being paid a pittance, and sort of scrounging by in New York and sleeping on a chair that folded out into a bed.
Apparently, I have good feet for ballet.
Thinking back about throwing myself at certain gentlemen that had no interest in me, that'll bring a blush to my face if I think about it too often.
We all wish there were more 'Bridesmaids' out there.
My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school.
I went to college and got my degree in acting, but because it was all theater, I really consider my first couple years on 'Mad Men' as amazing training for working in television and for acting on-camera.
I've always thought - and I don't even know if I'd be right for the part - that Jean Seberg would make a great biopic. She was in Jean-Luc Godard's 'Breathless,' she played Joan of Arc. She had this eventful and traumatic adulthood, she thought the FBI was after her, and she became a darling of the French New Wave.
I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.
A lot of people watch 'Community,' but DVR viewings only count if you watch within a certain time.
Nobody knows what the future is except for wizards.
College is expensive; I always knew that, and I wanted to make money, partially to spend a little of it here and there, but primarily for a college savings fund.
Actors get bored.
I'd never really done comedy before 'Community,' so getting to work day in and day out with all these great people, directors, writers, and actors, I feel like I've learned a lot.
I had my life Monday through Friday in school, and then I had my 'real life,' which was my acting class on Saturday.
I know other actors who are relieved when their shows get cancelled, and I've never felt that way about 'Community.'
Craig Robinson is basically the mayor of wherever he goes.
While I love film and want to continue to pursue it 100 percent, my home is TV.
In my sort of young, idealistic mind, I was just like, 'Well, it's either theater or film for me, and that will be that!'
In sixth grade, we all had to write this opinion paper. Most wrote about things like why we should be able to chew gum in class - I wrote about why women should receive equal pay.
I think when you have some success as a kid, your notion of being a good actor is pleasing the director, doing exactly what they tell you to do.
I like passionate fandom.
I used to babysit. And the kids I babysat were huge Hilary Duff fans, and so we used to have dance parties every day to her music. So I am very familiar with the albums of Miss Hilary Duff.
Actors are all narcissists.
I'm not conservative, but I am kind of clean living in my own life.
I like the 'Moth' podcast a lot. I listen to that.
