Aubrey Plaza

“My people would love it if I smiled more, if I was more 'approachable.'”

“I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.”

“I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.”

“I'm not, like, Daniel Day Lewis. Yet. I will get there!”

“I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So, it's meaningful, and I like the song. It's a love song - kind of - but it's kind of depressing and dark.”

“I'm like that person who hates going to magic shows - and I love magic, I love wizards - but going to a show where there is any possibility of audience participation is a nightmare for me.”

“I'm not super comfortable in my skin. I have to make it work for me, and that usually amounts to making it uncomfortable for everyone else.”

“I'm pretty good at weaseling my way into a job, even if I have no business being there.”

“I mean, sometimes I hate interviews because I always feel like I sound stupid.”

“When I'm on the couch, I usually have the TV on and my MacBook Air nearby. And sometimes, when my ADD is really kicking in, I have my iPad too. And my iPhone. And a magazine that I haven't gotten to. And a book under the pillow to my left.”

“Louis C. K. is one of my all time favorite standup comedians.”

“I can't say I follow politics extremely closely, but I'm definitely aware of what's going on in the world.”

“I love great acting, as nerdy as that sounds.”

“Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed.”

“Tina Fey is one of my heroes.”

“Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge, let's go!”

“A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.”

“When you improvise, you work off the laughs from the audience, but when you step on stage to do standup, it's silent.”

“I obviously bring all of my insecurities along with me to any role that I tackle.”

“I'm totally an anxious mess all the time. There's a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it's just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I'm not doing good enough.”
