Quinta Brunson

“I really think Jean Smart is amazing.”

“When I moved out to Los Angeles, I did what a lot of people my age do: I found some roommates and house on Craigslist.”

“Abbott' is definitely a dream show.”

“I want to make sure that the creators of tomorrow are fully funded and fully supported.”

“Improv is a fun thing to do on stage with others, sketch comedy is a great way to showcase your writing and acting, while stand-up is a cool way to learn to be comfortable on stage all alone. It's another art form, another way to tell stories.”

“My dream is to make a 'Bluey,' something so silly and unrelated to me, and I get to hide in the shadows.”

“I never actually was on YouTube. I never actually made a YouTube video.”

“Our country doesn't care as much about its lower classes as its richer class.”

“TV shows feel like babies, where the first season is an infant, second season is a two-year-old, and in the third season it's like a three-year-old. You know this kid's personality. They have their wants.”

“I just wasn't going to be able to be the person I wanted to be while being a Jehovah's Witness.”

“I love workplace comedies very much, they are just my favorite things in the world.”

“I had some of the best teachers in the world from elementary school onward.”

“I'll watch everything and I don't feel the need to say, 'this is horrible,' or 'this is good.' I just enjoy watching things, and not having a 'this is so bad' or 'this is so good' opinion. If something's really exceptionally good that leads me to the place of becoming a huge fan.”

“I'm not just an actress, not just a writer, not just a producer, not just a showrunner. I want to make sure I can convey who I am through what I wear.”

“I've always been very good at talking with people and communicating with people, and that comes in handy more than people know. I think artists and people who make things sometimes don't think that other skills are important, but it's important to know how to sell.”

“The things I wore in college were absolutely insane.”

“I come from a production assistant background. That was my first role on a set before even being an actor, that and writing.”

“Interestingly enough, even though my parents didn't necessarily support what I was doing at first, going into comedy, a lot of what they instilled in me is what allowed me to advocate for myself.”

“I love tropes. I think we all do, whether we know it or not.”

“I believe firmly that people can come back to each other. I think the 20s are a messy time. I myself dated someone at 21 and then again at 23.”
