You've got to get as literal as you can get to convince people sometimes that you can do something.

I feel like I go through cycles as an actress.

I'm a very law-abiding citizen, and I've never consciously broken any law. I get nervous just jaywalking in Los Angeles!

I would love it if 'Community' could have a trajectory like '30 Rock' and choose when to go out.

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 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.

Even something as stupid as Vine videos makes you feel like you're making things on your own.
