I keep reminding myself, through all the ups and downs of 'Community,' that I might never have another job that really means something to people, the way 'Community' means something to people. [...] That's more powerful than ratings.

I know other actors who are relieved when their shows get cancelled, and I've never felt that way about 'Community.'

I always try to have a bigger picture view of my career. But that didn't mean that I didn't cry about not getting jobs.

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.

If somebody is deemed more talented within the confines of the school it doesn't mean they're going to have the most successful career.

I think in theater it demands that you say the same words every night and make it feel fresh and new. Improv demands that you be operating at the highest level of your creativity intelligence. So these two skills are both very important but I've seen people who are very skilled at one area struggle with the other. Either improvisers feel constrained by having to say the same thing over and over again or people who are really good at doing scripted work feel intimidated and exposed doing improvisation.

The nice part about not being a huge film is that you get to goof around a bit more.
