I wasn't necessarily looking to do comedy on TV, but I don't think it's an accident that I ended up on 'Community.'

I also think the more experienced you get as an actor, you start to hear the conversations about why people get cast and not cast, sometimes it's so arbitrary. They decided the moment you walked in the door. And there's nothing you could have done to sway them, even if you'd the greatest performance of all time.

I feel like I go through cycles as an actress.

I'm a very boring person in my real life so I got to act out misbehaving fantasies was really fun.

I'm a pretty goofy person. I'm an awkward dancer, for instance, and a terrible singer.

There is a great degree of comfort with your family when you're on a TV show.

If you just look at the number of roles for women versus the number of roles for men in any given film, there are always far more roles for men. That's always been true. When I went to college, I went to Julliard. At that time - and I don't know if this is still true - they always selected fewer women than men for the program, because there were so few roles for women in plays. That was sort of acknowledgment for me of the fact that writers write more roles for men than they do for women.
