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

My poor, problematic feet don't let me wear anything much over a three- or four-inch heel.

As an actor, you are sort of only in charge of yourself. All you can really control is your performance. You don't know what they're going to do with it in the editing room, what they're going to cut out, which take they're going to use. You know, your control is very limited. As a director, it's ultimately your piece. You have a lot more responsibility, but you also have a lot more creative control. It's scary, but also liberating in a way.

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

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.

As you become an adult and start to make your way in life, you realize how much your friends are your family - though you get to make fun of your friends, too.

Your agents and your managers will always say stuff to you like, "It's really important to make a good first impression on a casting director. And even though you didn't get that job, because you did well that means they'll keep bringing you back in." But when you really just need a job to pay your rent, that stops being very consoling.
