“I am short, so even if there are things that I like, or like on other people, I have to be aware that sometimes that won't work on me because I'm not 5'10. It has to have a shape for my body; otherwise, I look like I am two inches tall. I have to wear things that skim my body more closely than a runway model would.”
“I'm not conservative, but I am kind of clean living in my own life.”
“I very rarely listen to music in my car - a lot of people make fun of me for it. But sometimes I listen to music on YouTube. I'm like a teenager.”
“I say the word N-U-C-L-E-R the same way that George W. Bush says it.”
“I'd say I've gone to grad school for comedy being on 'Community.'”
“While I love film and want to continue to pursue it 100 percent, my home is TV.”
“NBC gives comedies a chance to find their legs.”
“I have a lot of good stories for talk shows about the conditions in which I worked.”
“I am trying to break free from my stripes addiction, but the pull is strong! I need help buying non-stripes.”
“I think, you know, when you're an actor who's had periods of unemployment, it makes you feel really good to have a job - to say that you're expected somewhere, do you know what I mean?”
“Apparently, I have good feet for ballet.”
“A lot of people I went to college with felt like they wanted to pursue theater exclusively, so I don't think that I really was in competition with people that I went to school with.”
“I am very up front about about my inability to pronounce things correctly.”
“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'm a terrible cook.”
“I'm spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I'll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that's probably a huge time suck.”
“I never thought I would be in a comedic role; my past is in drama.”
“I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time.”
“I think if I was in over 250 films, the world would get pretty sick of me. I would probably never get put in anything ever again.”
“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.”
